I'm using uBlacklist plus these two blacklists that block out spam sites that clone pages from Stack Overflow and Github.

Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)

Being using it through the beta and moved toward their annual subscription :) Also you can give more importance to some website in the search result, create your own search template. It's so feature rich, and to make things easier they provide and extension to set your default search engine for you.

I was considering subscribing to Kagi but $10/month is almost as expensive as my fiber broadband connection and I don't think I can justify this expense. I would likely subscribe if it was $5/month.

Huh, $10 a month is pretty steep. It's great that they offer a free plan, but that comes with all the misaligned incentives again. Any reason they don't just do pay-per-use (1 cent per query)?

Great now I will be able to never see quora.com again

I'd argue all Q&A services devolve into madness when they get mainstream.

Before Quora we had yahoo answer and before that surely something else.

As soon as they get mainstream the quality of question and answer goes down. Those systems only work with well defined constraints either on the subject of the question or the validation of the expertise of the people answering.

All of those platform just open the valve with close to no moderation. We can see the same with Reddit and big sub Reddit.
