You can sync the settings and your personal blocklist to either Dropbox or Google Drive. It also has the ability to subscribe to blocklists. Mind, you need to manually turn on search engines and subscribe to lists. The uBlacklist subscriptions setting doesn't have any built-in feeds yet though. :(
edit: THere are some feeds on the uBlacklist site though. https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/subscriptions https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/subscriptions
edit edit: Found an even better list of feeds.

- tentacleuno 3y agouBlacklist is absolutely excellent: I've been using it for a few years now, with absolutely no problems. Quick tip: turn on the 'Skip the "Block this site" dialog', and disable 'Hide the "Block this site" links' settings -- they make it much quicker to block spam websites (of which there are many on regular search engines).
- skygazer 3y agoJust today I was looking for an extension just to block Quora from search results. (Talk about a useless site that seems to uselessly outrank Wikipedia on google lately — what on earth is Google up to?) I’m thankful I saw your and your parent’s post.
- lillecarl 3y agoWhen Quora was new I followed some topics, got to read interesting answers to interesting questions, but then some kind of enshittification happened. I've blocked it in Kagi now.
- ic_fly2 3y agoThis is amazing, I was maintaining my own custom solution that did this.
- bayindirh 3y agoThis is a feature of Kagi already. You can promote or blacklist domains in your search results.
- EA-3167 3y agoKagi is just the best, it feels like Google did before a decade+ of enshittification and ad tech.
- cratermoon 3y agoDid anyone notice that Kagi showed as barely better than Google in the article?
- _benj 3y agoYeah, for the the results of kagi are so much better than anything else, that it makes me wonder how objective can one be measuring search results. I use google in a clients computer and it’s just horrible. But it could also be a factor of the customizations I’ve made for my kagi. Ban quick a few paywalls sites, always put Wikipedia articles on top, prefer blogs than stackoverflow stuff…
- bayindirh 3y agoEven without customization, I did not change anything yet, Kagi provides far superior results to Google.
- l8_to_catch_up 3y agoI just tried it (free account), and it felt underwhelming, not many search results, or particularly interesting ones, for the image and video stuff I searched. There was little to no spam, though, but not much to look at either. Maybe it might be useful when searching for stuff that usually has high amount of confusing spam, but otherwise not really useful for me...

- brobinson 3y agoDoes this exist for DDG?
- infamia 3y agoYes, it works for most search engines.
- brobinson 3y agoThe addon you linked (on the Firefox version) only requests permissions on google.* sites so I don't think it will work for DDG. Is there a separate extension, or am I misunderstanding something?
- rhabarba 3y agouBlacklist has a button to enable other search engines, like DuckDuckGo. Press it!
- gzer0 3y agoAppreciate you sharing this; I've been searching for something similar for quite some time.
- KomoD 3y agoI use uBlacklist with my own blacklists and Google has been pretty usable, it's great.
