#32I have been using 'personal blocklist' extension for over a year and it worked well, going to try uBlacklist now.

#33I only need this for W3Schools.
Absolutely crazy how such a low quality site comes up for technical queries. Speaks volumes for how smart Google algorithm is.

#35I've posted this before, but you can achieve the same with uBlock Origin static filters alone without having to install any additional extensions. For example:
To block results from specific domains on Google or DDG:
google.*##.g:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"])
duckduckgo.*##.results > div:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"])
google.*##.g:has(*:has-text(/bye topic of noninterest/i))
duckduckgo.*##.results > div:has(*:has-text(/bye topic of noninterest/i))
*##body > div > div:has(*:has-text(/To make Medium work.*Privacy Policy.*Cookie Policy/i))Re: uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results

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)?
I don't think charging per query would work for most folks, for the same reason micropayments to bloggers or what have you won't work: it discourages use. If you know that every time you hit enter on a search query will cost you something, anything, you'll hesitate. You might choose to just use Google and use your data to pay for your search instead.

#37Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)
I started using it a couple of weeks ago, absolutely love it. I haven't gone back to google a single time yet.
I see people complain about a price, but I suspect also they complain about being tracked by google. I guess you can pick your poison. I think I'd rather pay a few bucks a month at this point, but to each his own.

For example: To block results from specific domains on Google or DDG: google.*##.g:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"]) duckduckgo.*##.results > div:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"]) And it's even possible to target an element's text content with a `:has-text(/regex/)` selector:…
Having a button to remove the offending site right from the search results saves quite a bit of time, so while i usually prefer not to have extra extensions, i see a lot of utility here.

From their usage panel, I do 50-200 research per day.
In 10 days my usage cost is estimated at 11.69$. It look like each query cost 1.25$ to Kagi.
I don't want to be conscientious of the cost of my search usage, I fear it will inconsciously reduce my search usage and access to knowledge.

...or use Grease/Tamper/Violent- monkey and the excellent Google Hit Hider by Domain[0] --which is free and [in spite of the name] works across all major search engines.
I feel like an evangelist for this script as I seem to mention it on an almost monthly basis here. But, as the saying goes "No connection. Just a happy user."
PS: as I said last time 'uBlacklist' was promoted here; whatever the merits of your product, trying to subconsciously associate yourself with the excellent 'uBlock Origin', by using a similar naming convention, is very shady.
PPS: reading the rest of the comments, I'm amazed at the number of people saying they've signed up for this, or intend to. $10 a month for something you could have for free --and we're supposed to be in recessionary times. It's true what they say about 'a fool and his money...'
