Unfortunately this did not work for me. I added these two, and then I did a search on images.google.com for "custom carved door frame". 5 of 7 images on the first row of results was some pinterest site.

    Thank you so much! A very quick copy paste into uBlock and it works wonders for Google & Google Image searches. I wish I had looked into this before! :-)

    nth-ancestor(n) and upward(arg) look handy. They're uBO extensions. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Procedural-cosmetic-filters#subjectnth-ancestorn https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Procedural-cosmetic-f...

    Many thanks, this does work. I do see a momentary flash of pinterest results, but they quickly disappear (and subsequent matches are re-tiled up). Good enough!
    - ffpip 6y ago
      Yeah. uBlock Origin is just hiding the results, like it hides blank spaces after it blocks ads. You might notice a momentary flash only for the first few times, or on slower machines.

  Weird, I don't do anything at all to block pinterest, and I just did that same search on Google Image search, and pinterest results are 6 out of 20 on the first 3 rows, and 1 per row at most for all of the rows below that.

This userscript is very useful for hiding pinterest search results: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-domain-search-filter-block-sites https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-d... I also use it for w3schools and a few other common search result spam sites.

I miss the days when google had an option to block entire domains. So sad that they removed it.

      I used to have a .txt file full of - options for google back in 2009 or so. Then Google started ignoring more and more of what I searched for and they also started blocking the worst offenders so I forgot about it. These days I mostly use DuckDuckGo for my programming searches.

        Same here. Although do they have a way to block certain sites?
