Problem with advertisements in search results

[lw4z]

Describe the bug In all searches, an advertisement link is appearing initially in the results. I noticed this outcome only in the latest version 3.9.8.

code:

from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
from itertools import islice

web_results = []

with DDGS(timeout=10) as ddgs:
    result_web_search = ddgs.text(
        keywords='dog',
        region='br-pt',
        safesearch='off',
        timelimit='',
        backend='html',
    )

    for r in islice(result_web_search, 3):
        web_results.append(r)
list({i['href']: i for i in web_results}.values())

Screenshots
