All search interfaces should support "Don't show me this again". All of them. Imagine having a roommate who doesn't remember you want to avoid sugar and are allergic to nuts, yet keeps making PBJ sandwiches when it's his turn to make dinner. That and you're getting effin PBJ for dinner. Web search: Don't show me anything from this domain again. Google: You are so keen to remember things about me that I don't want you to remember. But you don't bother to remember what I reject? Of course, because I am the product, not the customer. This feature might run afoul of your relationship with advertisers, yeah? Yelp search: You've suggested this place before, I spent the time to read the details and reviews and rejected it, but you keep showing it to me on future searches, and because as a human I can't remember all the stuff you've showed me before, I waste time considering it all over again. You even show me places I rated 1 star. STOP! Maybe DuckDuckGo could add this feature? Please? Pretty Please?

This is something I'd love. I find, when searching for info on a relatively uncommon bug DDG will give me a page that starts with a relevant stackoverflow answer then continues on to list a bunch of sites that scrape SO and repost the content. It's extremely annoying.

DuckDuckGo, you could do this client side within your browser extension, which both avoids server side costs and protects our privacy. Pretty please?

Google used to have a "block" feature. Those were the days!

I've been using this chrome extension (made by Google) for quite some time. Surprised it's not more popular: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist-by-goo/nolijncfnkgaikbjbdaogikpmpbdcdef https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...

Web search: Don't show me anything from this domain again. Google had this for a while. I think their customers complained.
