New Chrome extension: block sites from Google’s web search results
- Pewpewarrows 16y agoThis is an excellent step forward, especially since they're sending all of this data to Google for review. Ideally I'd like to see this just rolled-into the default signed-in search interface, but this will be a good test to see how such a service could work.

- joe_the_user 16y agoA while back, Google let you remove search-entries whenever you were logged-in. This seems similar but I'm not sure why they didn't just continue letting you remove content straight from the Google page. The feedback page also now doesn't go directly to a form where you can report a content farm but rather to a bunch of choices (I had trouble even determining what to chose to report Spam - the first one I chose was to report porn). By the time a lot of users have gotten to the report-a-site section, they've probably forgotten the original URL. It is a complex problem, certainly - reporting websites is a good way to screw your competitors for example.
