It has been annoying me so much seeing so many spam sites on Google, when searching for "Steam Deck" to see anything I might have missed...

So I made a Ublock Origin list to remove them from results.

Just this list already made Google many times more usable.

I have seen some many ad filled SEO optimized sites that must be filled with AI generated garbage that is not helpful at all.

@slyecho And that's what this type of list will help against, as I'll keep adding any I find to it :)

@slyecho lol yup that's a typical one: loads of useless stuff before they give the actual topic, will add them

I've honestly never heard of a "Ublock Origin list".

I'm now very curious.

Dunno if I'll make a PR, but I might fork it, if I can figure out how to use it. I'd like to exclude ebay and amazon when I'm searching for products/devices. If I WANT to search either evil empire to buy shit, I can go to their site and do it.

Excellent.

And, unless you beat me to it, I already know what my PR is going to be. An addition to the README.md

How To Use
Go into Unlock Origin Settings


...oh, like I know where the hell THAT is.

Is that a thing IN GOOGLE?

Is that a thing in my browser's settings?

Is it a store at Mall of America?

@gamingonlinux More importantly, which droll joker will make a pull request to add gamingonlinux.com? ๐Ÿ˜

@gamingonlinux GamingOnLinux, improving not just your gaming experience.

Thank you!

@gamingonlinux nice, thanks. If youโ€™re not being paid by Valve, you really should be. Just bought a SD mainly because of what youโ€™re writing about it. You should build something like a central SD resource website (apart from GoL). But who had the time, right? ๐Ÿ˜

@gamingonlinux I'm surprised you're still using Google to be quite honest.

DELETED

@gamingonlinux dont forget some reddit threads that are nothing but news and people who hate steam deck.
