Gregory's ServerI give you one of the offenders. I wish i could just entirely block sites on search engines.

 @gamingonlinux What could be interesting would be an extension which hides sites in search listings with adverts enabled. Not just blocking ads, but blocking/hiding any site which even HAS them, (with the idea that they'll be more likely to do shady things to get ad revenue). I would install that RIGHT NOW, as even with duckduckgo, clicking through to a BS ad site is just depressing.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
@gamingonlinux you can with this and uBlock Origin, https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results @gamingonlinux there is a browser extension for that, on all browsers https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist It even supports downloading blocklists from URLs in its configuration, although I didnโt find many good ones @gamingonlinux one of the reasons I've been paying for Kagi search for the past months (aside from theoretically no data harvesting and advertising) is that I can prioritize/deprioritize results from specific domains, and block spammy ones altogether. And because I'm logged into an account, those preferences stay across all devices. Of course there's a lot that's uncomfortable about paying for search, so still considering it an ongoing experiment! |
@gamingonlinux Wouldn't make a difference. You block one spam site, 5 more clones with the exact same content pop up in its place.
Google makes money off the ads running there, so they won't care. The more spam sites listed higher on the page, the more money they make.
