...or use Grease/Tamper/Violent- monkey and the excellent Google Hit Hider by Domain[0] --which is free and [in spite of the name] works across all major search engines. I feel like an evangelist for this script as I seem to mention it on an almost monthly basis here. But, as the saying goes "No connection. Just a happy user." PS: as I said last time 'uBlacklist' was promoted here; whatever the merits of your product, trying to subconsciously associate yourself with the excellent 'uBlock Origin', by using a similar naming convention, is very shady. PPS: reading the rest of the comments, I'm amazed at the number of people saying they've signed up for this, or intend to. $10 a month for something you could have for free --and we're supposed to be in recessionary times. It's true what they say about 'a fool and his money...' [0] https://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/ https://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/

About your PPS: I search from my own machine, from my work laptop, and from my phone. I also use different browsers. Maintaining a user script to “undo” crap results won’t work well in this scenario. Having those settings saved in the search engine itself is really nice! I’m a paying Kagi user now, and this isn’t my first comment gushing over that product. :)

You’re joking right? We’re on a forum where a good chunk of the people commenting have 6-figure salaries, some on the very high side of that. And some here have a lot more money than that. $10/mo for something used many times every day is a drop in the bucket for many. It’s not true for all, but for many.

  It’s not the amount. It’s the value for me. $10 for something that is minimal value is the path to ruin, especially when done by many people. There’s opportunity cost (ie, what if I donated to charity, etc) but mainly I want to support high value products with some link to costs. All these “just the price of coffee” 4-hour-work-week type things are an unhealthy way of looking at the world. I like open source so I can stop worrying about stuff that has near zero marginal costs. I hate to think of a future where everything I enjoy or use is “just $10 every month.”

    To each their own. But to me, a search engine is a very high value tool.

Paid search means that the service is not incentivized to appeal to advertisers. Disclaimer: happy Kagi subscriber here :)

  GHH just removes the results from the list, it doesn't add anything. I don't see how it could appeal to advertisers. EDIT: Oh, you're talking about Kagi. Gotcha.

Also an avid user of GHH. It's excellent. Configurable, easy to export/import, and free.
