There’s a “That’s what she said” joke in here somewhere.

I think background checks are usually limited to your police record (any misdemeanors, felonies, etc) and financial situation (declared bankruptcy, etc).

I’m using the DDG app

I am but DDG will show sponsored search results which don’t get blocked by ublock.

No it’s like a sponsored search result. You have to go into settings > private search > more settings and then disable Advertisements.

The constant Temu search results drive me nuts, but I found a setting to disable that.
