This is the main use I have for browser addins that block sites in search results.

Which add on do you recommend? I’ve often thought, after clicking on some search result that instantly leads me to a full page splash, “I want to never see that domain again”

  Try Kagi, I used a while ago and was amazing, now I default to DDG, I don’t see any cloned content sites or just too few that I don’t notice them.

  I use uBlacklist. It supports 10 search engines. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmialoiaghdehhbnbhkkgmjanfhe?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmi... https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist

Google and DDG should add a Kagi feature, where you can set the priority of the sites or even block them.

  I just started using Kagi, and the ability to just bump Wikipedia as first results has been great so far. I really need to try using Kagi more.

    USD10 per month is too steep for me.

      That's less than what you spend of coffee each month

        Affordability isn’t the only input into the decision of spending money on something.

        That's certainly not true of everyone. We don't all go to Costa and etc...

        Even buying a bag to make at home...you're at ~$10 or more

      You do you, but it comes out to pennies per search for me. 1000¢ / 30 days / 5 searches/day = 6.6¢/search, and that would be a slow day.

Not a browser add-on but changing to self-hosted searxNG. Proxy searches to your engines of choice, filter and rewrite urls to your liking (like yt->piped, medium->scripe.rip).

  You can actually pair this with a browser extension: Privacy Redirect[0]. You can setup your own self-hosted instances or existing third party ones. It's a game changer both for privacy and UX. [0]: https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect

If only google could provide that sort of quality control.
