In my opinion, MDN should be the first result of search engines when searching for web related stuff. No offense to w3schools, I'm sure they've improved their content a lot, but I hate that I have to add "mdn" on my search phrase.

There are browser extensions to block w3schools (or any domain you choose) from google results. Some are built to only block w3schools, some will operate off a list of domains. It’s one of the first extensions I get on a new computer.

  You can do those with uBlock Origin. No need to install another extension For blocking pinterest on google, use https://pastebin.com/5diH8Weh https://pastebin.com/5diH8Weh Remove pinterest and add w3schools to block them instead.

Just going to plug Dash by Kapeli. There is a windows version, but it’s not as great.

Duckduckgo provides bang shortcuts to pretty-much all the different subsections of MDN. https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=mdn https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=mdn eta: Also the generic/top-level !mdn search bang.

I use a Firefox keyword to directly search MDN, simply so I can avoid W3Schools who always occupy the top spot in results. For those who aren't aware, right click any search box and select 'Add a keyword for this search', set it to something short and then in your URL bar type: "<keyword> <search term>". So to search MDN for the span element I'd type "mdn span".

Why not go directly to the MDN website and use the search built in?

  For me, it's too much of a hassle to open the mdn website THEN type in the search phrase. I would have to change this: CMD + SPACE -> safa (Open Safari) -> CMD + l (url bar) -> type: html forms mdn -> Click result To this: CMD + SPACE -> safa -> CMD + l -> type: devel (auto completes to mdn) -> Click search bar -> type: forms -> Click result There are five actions in the former, while 7 in the latter.
