Ask HN: What is your replacement for Google search
Right now I am okay with DDG. The amount of times I have resorted to tacking on the !g has only been decreasing.
I also use one extra thing, an extension called 'highlight or hide search engine results'[1]. I have first party documentation highlighted in blue, good community sites in green, lower quality sites greyed out, and content farms hidden completely. I've also been storing page highlights in raindrop.io[2]
Between the two of these I spend less overall time actually reviewing the search results and it is easier for me to return to good results that I found in the past.

Do any of you ever google a question and add “reddit” after the question because surprisingly reddit will get you straight to the answer rather than having to go through an annoying spammy website?
Im using https://github.com/pistom/hohser for that purpose!

Greasemonkey alternative with cloud-support
I don't know how often that would be a problem, but I know it's an issue for at least one extension, as discussed here (users who fill up Sync'd storage have to switch the extension to using non-Sync'd storage): https://github.com/pistom/hohser/issues/140

uBlacklist – Block specific sites from appearing in Google search results
Shameless plug for the blacklist I maintain: https://github.com/franga2000/aliexpress-fake-sites
Anyone who has tried to buy something obscure locally will probably find this useful. There are hundreds of fake webstores that pretend to be in different countries (using national TLDs and machine translation), then just redirect you to AliExpress. I have a script that can recognise them and add them to this blocklist.
What are some alternatives?
