#22Neat. Please make this extension work for other search engines too. Especially DDG!

#23Great initiative. Having a "Add domain to blacklist" option on right click would be a nice addition. I seriously wish this matures well like Adblock Plus. Imagine having a crowd sourced blacklist of domains and users can easily add it to the extension. (similar to easy filter based on geographic locations for adblock)
Great idea - would just require some sort of moderation in that format though. I'd much rather manage my own list of domains to blacklist. A crowd sourced one I fear could be exploited and prevent me from seeing content I'd otherwise like to be able to find.
Yes, moderation is definitely necessary. For instance, easylist for adblock which has over 10000 filters is maintained by five people and is updated with input from the forum members.

#24Next, I'd like to be able to share my blacklists ;-)

#25Google's official spam reporting extension: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/efinmbicabejjhja...
Does that actually go anywhere or is it like all their other official channels of communication?
Yes, clicking "Report spam" in the Chrome extension goes to our official spam report page and autopopulates the spam report form with that result.

Yes, clicking "Report spam" in the Chrome extension goes to our official spam report page and autopopulates the spam report form with that result.

I don't necessarily want to report a garbage website as spam - it's just garbage for me. Anyway, the 'Report Spam' link doesn't always appear for me.

Two things: first, the data is used to improve our algorithms. Second, spam reports get 4x the weighting when we prioritize sites for manual spam investigation. That does mean that if you do a spam report on a page/site that only gets seen (say) once every six months, it might not get looked at on the manual side though, simply because there are other sites that are hurting users more.
Giving spam reports 4x the weight compared to the sites that we autodetect is how we try to balance responding to outside feedback with spending our review cycles on the spam that impacts users most.

#30Any chance for a Safari extension as well?
