I may be misremembering, but I am quietly confident that about 15 years ago I could instruct google to remember a list of sites that I wanted excluded from any of my search results.
I definitely recall that up until about 10 years ago ebay had a similar feature, where I could define various vendors that I wanted to exclude forever after.
Ebay has the two-master problem in spades, of course, but removing these types of features is an especially non-subtle reminder that as a consumer you're very low down on the corporation's care list.
Having to manually modify all my search queries forever more is an offensive cognitive burden.
- mikestew 5y agoI may be misremembering... You remember just fine, and probably got it to within a year or two. If google wanted to make money off something other than the ads I never click (if they even managed to be displayed): bring back the list, and name a reasonable price. Because even though Pinterest will never resolve on our home network (lest you accidentally click a search result), there's no way I can find to not display those results to begin with. We need a Pi-Hole for search results.
