Personal Blacklist is an official Google extension, it just doesn't sync with anything or save to a database. At least for my purposes, I don't need it anywhere but my desktop machine to help out in result pruning (experts exchange, fixya). Their offered download link doesn't even work for me, it just notifies me of its shutdown.

Are you logged in? There is a link at the bottom of the page to download it. It isn't very prominent; I almost missed it.

    Neither am I. Could it be because I don't have any sites blocked? It's either that, or a bug... And I can't really know which.

>Their offered download link doesn't even work for me, it just notifies me of its shutdown. After you go to that link and read the notification, there is another link to download the blocklist as a plain-text file. Mine contained a number of domains I've added during the years. It's quite interesting to see all the domains I've blocked so far :)

    Well I had all those sites that scrape StackOverflow added to my list. I love that SO uses a CC license but it does have some unintended consequences.

      Is there a public list of such site? I think I'd find it quite useful (for my own blocking).
      - hackerboos 14y ago
        I don't think there is. I did it on a case-by-case basis.

    They also use these domains: w3schools.com ww.w3schools.com wwww.w3schools.com Probably others too.

"experts exchange, fixya" HA, yes, not being able to block these assholes really degrades Google's search results. Not to mention the dozens of spam sites re-hosting Stack Overflow content embedded in a sea of ads. GJ, Google. You suck at marketing basically everything, and now you've degraded the one thing you did right. And this is just Google's latest offense. They already degraded their product by eliminating the ability to put "+" in front of a term to require it in results. I might actually look at Bing now.
