We now need two things. First, an antitrust breakup of Google, separating search and ads. Second, a tax on ads.

It must be made against the economic interests of search engines to show too many ads.

I agree with the first. The second I think is missing the target. This really doesn't have anything to do with search. Instead this is Google (The largest ad seller) using it's market position (as the maker of Chrome/Chromium, the most popular browser) to prevent users from not seeing its ads on any website where they're displayed.
