Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)
I've tried Kagi a few times, but the results were not better than qwant.com (which is quite comparable to DuckDuckGo and Brave).

This is such a misguided train of logic that I can't quite figure out where it's wrong. Like those maths puzzles that prove 1=0.
What do you mean? Personally I'm trying to avoid any terms that imply that black==bad. Black people, just like other groups of people, experience discrimination and abuse and I'm mindful of that. To me it would be the same as naming something christianlist and muslimlist to denote "good" and "bad", maybe that's a better example. At the end of the day I think my approach is not making the world any worse and possible…
It's a wild goose chase. It's The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and it's garbage.
> Black people, just like other groups of people, experience discrimination and abuse
Sometimes. Other people do sometimes too and it sometimes has nothing to do with their skin colour.

That's misguided. Maybe focus on making yourself better first before mucking with the rest of the world.

I need to get around to signing up. I started a couple weeks back, but stalled about some question re: what search means to you, or something like that, went off for a while to think about it, and never went back. Guess I need to just write "finding stuff" or something trite and get on with it. (don't ask me open-ended questions as part of a signup process unless you want me to brain-lock and never finish the form :-…
I'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:…
Is it possible to block/hide "People Also Search For" boxes in Google search results? It's annoying because each time you go back to search results, this little box re-aligns the whole list of results so you can't quickly click on the next search result.

Black and white are colors. _You_ are making the leap from color to ethnicity.
At the end you claim you "have no problem with that", and yet you're all over this discussion proclaiming the same weak argument. Seems like you have quite a problem with it.

can you do an example for blocking pinterest?
Regular search:
google.*##.g:has(a[href*="pinterest.com"])
google.*##.isv-r:has-text(pinterest.)

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)?
Yeah, $10 is steep, but I feel like I'd be happy with a bundle deal. Search, reliable email, a small bit of storage, and other small services for $20 or $30. I'm sure I'm underestimating how much I use search, but it just doesn't feel like an essential part of my life that I'd want to pay that much.

People aren't racist towards black people because of the word black. (You might have noticed that non-black people can be victims of racism too!)
And "black" isn't associated with badness because of racism against black people either.
And it isn't even the black community calling for this. It's white SJWs. Ok I think they probably do have good intentions but they also want low-effort feel-good actions and don't really care what effect they actually have.
It's the "set your profile picture" of racism. The only effect is making people who do it feel like they've done something worthwhile.

Terrible analogy. There's a fundamental difference between "blacklist" and "darkielist" (for example). Black doesn't just mean "black people". It is also just a colour.

Kagi is even better than Google in my opinion. I’m still thinking whether I want to pay a subscription for it but it’s tempting since the results are so good. M When I first switched from Google to DDG I found myself using g! all the time as I wasnt happy with the results, especially local such as finding a specific shop in my area etc. I dont recall using g! with Kagi, and when I was bored and compared the Kagi sear…
> When I first switched from Google to DDG I found myself using g! all the time lol, I did the exact same thing! After a month of that, I just went back to Google :(. Google's results are just so damn good.
