   Thanks. No that has the potential issue of assuming that results from your blacklist are complete crap. That'd be equivalent of removing the search results based on the blacklist entirely (right?). Based on a comment here on HN as well

   I'm not aware about other similar tools. But I'll be soon porting and submitting on Chrome as well.

   I never personally used Bing much (but memes have told me the same about its search quality). I will take into consideration for the next execution. I have been also mildly pissed at Youtube results and given how permeated it is into a &#x2

   Thanks. Same here and I tried to keep it as vanilla as possible. Let me know if and I can improve it (either here or using Github issues).

   I wrote this because I was so annoyed by irrelevant low-quality search results for my queries on Google. For instance if I'm looking up for Python xyz topic, 99% of the times I am not interested in some 'low-quality' content

    I'm on a self-imposed sabbatical i.e. graduate school so I'm able to do quick context switching between the following things (no specific orders): 1. FINALLY, reading, chewing and digesting LISP. I can see the 'magical'

    Funny story: I was rejected by YC last batch. But I get it- I thought they look for traction and what not, so I rather made the pitch video on a very specific aspect of Hexafarms- which is monitoring, since some people were willing to check

    Thanks I'll do that. I actually graduated from college this year; and for personal reasons I've had to change countries; now I'm in another Master's program... ready to drop out anytime. The whole project has been dead f
