There isn't a "remove result" button. At the bottom there is a "Privacy settings", "How Search works" and "Cached" button, while the screenshot shows "Remove result" and "How Search works".

Having unsuccessfully gone through 2 different procedures to try to remove that page from Google search result, I have little faith that it will work now.

Same for me. Presumably there's some super narrow set of conditions when this works and that isn't applying for us but did let them put our a blog post at that point back in May.

Perhaps it's another facet of the problem Google had not knowing how many G Suite legacy edition users they had. Maybe they have so many combinations of experiments/features running on people's search result pages that they cannot appreciate that many people won't get this?

I didn't know about this feature (and it doesn't show up for me, anyway) so I tried to remove some pages with contact information via GDPR, which they declined.

I'm on a laptop (using Firefox). I see a remove result option after I click the dots next to the respective search result. I experimented and I can see it regardless if I am logged into my Google account or not.

I just searched for the term "foo" and clicked on the second or third result.
