Honestly, at this point Google themselves should be offering this.
Not only would it keep people coming back for actually valuable results, but it would feed them with an up-to-the minute listing of sites people don’t trust.
- sneak 6y agoGoogle does offer this, it's just a filter list to benefit Google, and not you.
- joshspankit 6y agoYou misunderstand: I’m saying they should be offering a way for users to set their own blacklists.
- myself248 6y agoYou misunderstand: You are not Google's customer. You are their product.
- Meekro 6y agoEven better, let people subscribe to block lists, like ad blockers do. Instead of putting together my own list of shit sites (which will be perpetually out of date), I'd be happy to outsource that to some group I trust.
- davehcker 6y agoIt's an enhancement issue I've already added to the repository on Github. Planning to roll it out in the next update :) Honestly, I didn't know how big of a pain it was to a lot of people until now.
- aendruk 6y agoThey did! Then of course killed it.
- joshspankit 6y agoWhen?? How did I miss that?
- aendruk 6y agoApproximately 2011–2018 [1]. For most of that time it existed as a browser extension similar to this one, but it started off as a first-class feature of the site.

- joshspankit 6y ago!! I’ve used Google since the early early days, and either I missed that entirely, or tried it once and didn’t actually need it until recently. +10 points for bringing the facts.
