You can already do this if you're logged into google I have geeksforgeeks blocked because that site is a complete pile of garbage
I am logged into google and don't see such an option. How do you achieve that?

#43Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)
I have yet to find any competitor which provides its own results and is even 50% as good as Google's results. Features are nice, but for a search engine results are everything.
From reading the site it seems like Kagi uses Google on the backend, so it's probably privacy, filtering and presentation you're paying for.

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.
There are other, better, free options. See my comment above. Startpage + GHHBD.

#45the biggest problem with google, for me, is their internal blacklist - nothing i can do to get them to stop censoring. this is a nice start though. still sticking with bing as the lesser of evils. i switch to google sometimes if i cant find what i want on bing (for non-controversial topics that google doesnt censor, its still the best)

#48I'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"]) 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.
Same reason why I still use uMatrix in addition to uBlock even though custom rules in the latter are not any less powerful - user interface matters.

Out of interest, what do you consider to be credible/high quality news orgs?
I dont really read news anymore. But i think forbes was a decent one. I havent checked in a while though.
edit: i'd say hackernews is a good way know about things. much variety.
edit2: news is not really that important to begin with. It's just about what's happening in the world. It's not that important to know that. You rather want to fill up your brain with information about engineering, science, nature, etc. You know.. information that you can "USE". That's why it's "useful".

#50Great 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 wit…
You think Quora is bad? Try blocking Pinterest from your search results. I swear those bastards have registered pinterest
