I have never seen a Github issue clone or StackOverflow clone in my life.

  This surprises me because it's a major problem for me, particularly for GitHub. I end up doing this for clones that don't even link back to the orginal: 1. Search for something 2. See the cloned issue but no results for the original 3. Copy some unique-looking text from the clone 4. Search the repo directly for that text It's awful. Seems to be a very recent problem? Maybe the last few months?

    If I google "winforms change title bar color", I stackoverflow on top and on the first page: https://newbedev.com/changing-the-color-of-the-title-bar-in-winform https://newbedev.com/changing-the-color-of-the-title-bar-in-... http://ostack.cn/?qa=707394/ http://ostack.cn/?qa=707394/ But this blocks it: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arosh/ublacklist-stackoverflow-translation/master/uBlacklist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arosh/ublacklist-stackover...

    uBlacklist [0] solves this. The filters in [1] let me block all those clone sites. [0]: https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist [1]: https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist

  It might be a function of your programming niche, but is it possible that you just didn't realize you were looking at a clone? These sites are everywhere.

  It's a portion of the content that's cloned: the question and subsequent answers or discussion. The styling is usually totally different, even the page structure is different, to the point that I don't realize I'm looking at a clone unless I recognize the copy from a specific github or stackoverflow page that I had looked at previously in my search session.
