Google has personal blocklist addon for chrome that you can use to block unwanted sites from the search results.
I just wonder why this obvious tool is not account-level functionality that works across browsers and devices. If it is because the sites that people block bring revenue to Google, then Google truly is evil.

- vog 9y agoEven if that features worked, it would still be user hostile to force them solve a global problem locally. If Google really cared about user experience, they would already have downscored all those low-quality sites years ago. But they don't - neither now nor back then. So either they are profiting from those low-quality sites, or they simply don't care.
- beefield 9y agoThe more I think the more intentional this feels. I mean, if Google really wanted to filter out low quality websites out form their search results, I can't imagine much more reliable algorithm than to ask from the users to indicate the results that are bad.
