Does it support IE6? (Google does, and it's a browser I enjoy using.)
We didn’t try yet but Kagi works the same with JS disabled. JS is there to enhance UX, not create it. Let us know.
That is a good start!
uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results

Re: uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results
#312I'm using uBlacklist plus these two blacklists that block out spam sites that clone pages from Stack Overflow and Github. https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-stackoverflow-translatio... https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-github-translation
The ironic thing is, those sites you block have most likely cloned your github page and published blocklists for themselves on their own site.

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)?
Pay per use is a great model for search and I wish we could use it. But I don”t think the world is ready yet. In our survey 90% of users told us they preffered fixed fee over pay per use and feedback we got was that pay per use would make them anxious to use search. Also it adds additional friction in the signup flow (where the idea of paid search is already a novelty and then pay per search?) and so we decided to go…
Too bad a pay-per-search model was not adopted. But would it be a big trouble to let users choose?
* Say 1 search is 5 cents. So unless a person searched less than 200 times a month, the pay-per-search is cheaper....
* Or why not adopt the model where you pay 5 cents per search _for the first 200 searched_ and nothing afterwards (so the ceiling is $10 per month)?

Re: uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results
#315I'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:…
I really like this solution, but FYI it blocks suffixes, adding gram.com blocks instagram.com, facebookgram.com, etc.

if you don't know what either a blacklist or blocklist is, the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean yes block has 1 other meaning, but that pales compared to black which doesn't have the descriptive meaning in the first place
>block has 1 other meaning Wrong. A list of blocked processes? >the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean No it's not. If you don't know what "blacklist" means, you can pick up any dictionary from the 1700s and later and get a definition.
>Wrong. A list of blocked processes?
that's the same meaning. the processes are blocked from proceeding
>No it's not. If you don't know what "blacklist" means, you can pick up any dictionary from the 1700s and later and get a definition
that's not what glean means
>Wrong >No it's not
why are you taking this confrontational tone? it's unpleasant and doesn't help your case

No it's not. Blocked processes and blacklisted processes are two very different things.
>that's not what glean means
No one said that's what glean means.
Re: uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results
#318Unfortunately the problem I most often encounter with "unwanted" search results is not isolated useless sites but when the results for anything shopping-related are multiple full pages of crappy SEO-spam results. If anyone has tips for addressing this situation I'd be much obliged.
If any of the alternative search engines would offer this and a feature to block pages with affiliate links--like those "review" sites--I would be happy to pay for them. They need to offer ways to customize the search experience.
Re: uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results
#319Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)
I signed up for Kagi during the closed beta, and used it for a bit. But I kept going back to Google for some searches, the proportion of which was steadily increasing over time, until almost unconsciously I was tabbing down to "search with Google" every time I searched. At that point I figured it was a revealed preference and went back to Google.

> I think you might be the one lacking the historical background. Blacklist comes from King Henry and his list of political enemies. 1. You seem to assume that historical background is synonymous with "words first origin". By historical background I meant to refer to not being fully aware of just how much racism toward black Americans was and is still present everywhere. I say so as a non-American myself. It's not pr…
Forgive me but instead of bouncing between threads I'm just going to condense to this one. Yes, racism is real. Racism has been a part of history. Racism still exists today. What does the word "Blacklist" have to do with that? It's not about black people, it's not suggesting we should do anything to black people. We can all agree there are racist words - but why is "blacklist" one of them? Is "blacklight" a racist te…
