Interesting. I'm curious as to what you use instead of "whitelist" and "greylist"?

allowlist has been suggested for whitelist.

Related: git, GitHub and GitLab switched the default branch name from master to main. - https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-the-default-branch-... - https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/03/10/new-git-default-bra...

With the consequence that the default branch now differs between locally and remotely initiated repositories

A google search showing some of these leech type sites:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22code+that+protects+users+...

For me, "farath.com" is outranking stackoverflow.

This is just my own personal preference, but I manage my own list of what is blocked or allowed on my systems. I would be concerned that a group contributed list for this category of blocking could quickly devolve into a group-think censorship dominated by whomever is the most devoted to blocking and extending echo bubbles to peoples browsers.

Seeing "how other people configure their tools" can be interesting. I love seeing how people configure their .bashrc with custom commands.

I don't think I'd want to download a list of the most blocked sites and plug it into one of my tools though, for some of the reasons you mentioned.

Google's existing blacklist is half the reason (for me) that the results quality has declined so much. So this is not a great solution.

Why not use another search engine, such as Kagi, which has built-in support for this? At least for the programming niche, Kagi has worked really great for me for a month now.

Kagi is still in beta as far as I know. I sure hope someone will fill this niche eventually.
