If you can deal with the aesthetics of every search query containing your blacklist, try creating a custom search engine in your browser with a keyword like "g" (for google) that searches for your query plus "-site:pinterest.com -site:example.com"
- EastSmith 5y agoHow many domains will you be able to remove this way? There is probably some low limit like 50?
- bagomips 5y agoNot sure if Google does anything to restrict plug-ins from tampering with its results, but domains in DDG results are canonicalized making it trivial to use them as keys in localStorage. So filtering after the fact, while slightly awkward, can work for a list of thousands or millions?
- Beached 5y agoone of the reasons I borderline hate google now is that the search results do not honor double quoted text, or subtract text like you mentioned. I have tried searched with -site: and google just ignores it and gives me results form there anyways
- chrisshroba 5y agoIt's always worked for me. Would you happen to have an example query that doesn't respect those things?
- prophesi 5y agoNot OP, but Google Search is a blackbox so it's possible the same query would properly block the designated URLs for you, while remaining unblocked for other users.
