Another poster has already suggested `uBlacklist` so I won't waste bandwidth by repeating the link, but I want to underline the utility of this extension, because it's transformed my experience of using Google search for code problems.
Before using this, I was finding the first page of my search results were overwhelmed with StackOverflow-scrapers, which returned SO answers reformatted into some sort of garbage and unreadable 'blog-post'.
Nowadays, after blocking twenty/thirty/fifty(?) of these sites, I get to where I want as fast as I did 10 years ago.
- nextaccountic 4y agoCould you share the url list?
- hurflmurfl 4y agoThere's a public ruleset for this: https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-stackoverflow-translation https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-stackoverflow-translatio...
- nextaccountic 4y agoNice! If anyone want to share other such lists, however subjective, I would be grateful edit: found another one, https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-github-translation https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-github-translation
- NoMAD76 4y agoAlso you can use this for uBlock https://letsblock.it https://letsblock.it
- nextaccountic 4y agoWhat's the difference from letblockit to ublacklist? Is letblockit affiliated to ublock origin in some way?
- NoMAD76 4y agoDon't think they are affiliated, it's just something that I mainly use as a companion for uBlock to help me quickly generate filters etc.
- nicbou 4y agoYou can also use it to block paywalled and clickbait content. For example, you can safely ignore anything from cnet.com or digitaltrends.com. There's a few niche-specific sites in my blocklist.
