Precisely due to the existence of these two websites, Quora and cplusplus.com I have a custom Google search engine using a whitelist I created specifically to exclude these and include bloggers from standards committees and other people I follow

How does this work? I like the idea of a search engine which only searches domains I have whitelisted. Are you using this? https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/

  A tool that does that on Reddit would be useful too. I don’t need commondreams and theroot opinion articles...

    If you're searching just the one site then the site: prefix (e.g. site:reddit.com, site:reddit.com/r/<subreddit>) works a treat.

    commondreams? Are you by chance browsing /r/politics? I find the most useful way to browse /r/politics is to sort by controversial because it pierces the bubble.

      /r/politics is just the left version of /r/the_donald, and they're both insufferable. I miss the niche subs with quality discussion and content, but the rest of Reddit just started overflowing there too and ruined it. I do not regret deleting my account. Although whenever a web search returns a Reddit link, I don't have RES and old.* redirect to make the site usable any more. Don't know how anyone uses new Reddit.

        There are still some useful niche communities. r/bonsai is still about bonsai and relatively meme free. r/amateurradio is ok too

        I use a Chrome extension that automatically redirects me to 'old' reddit

        You're better off just installing something like Boost or Baconreader on your phone to take care of Reddit links from searches. I haven't touched Reddit on a desktop system in over a year because it's just easier to use an app and not have to deal with the ridiculously awful redesign or fiddle with RES.

  Yes, That's the one! You create a set of rules and you can publicly publish your url. I have one specifically for programming related searches and one for news. You can have URL patterns for example: en.cppreference.com/<asterisk> Edit: I wasn't able to get the star to work in the post
