personal-blocklist VS awesome-ublacklist

Browser extensions such as Personal Blackliste also do this for you.

I've just blocked Quora from ever appearing in my google searches because of how un-helpful their website is despite being host to so many useful questions. I have no idea how one website can claim to fill the niche of Yahoo Answers yet fail to provide absolutely any of the value. Blocking it has vastly improved my Googling experience.

I use Personal Blocklist and added stuff like geeksforgeeks.org or cplusplus.com. It seems codegrepper earned a place on the list as of today

yes actually https://github.com/wildskyf/personal-blocklist

I use something similar on Firefox: https://github.com/wildskyf/personal-blocklist. Blocked all these sites, get much better search results.

Some people already maintain some lists that you might find helpful [1]

Sure! It just blocks sites from showing up in your google searches. So you don’t get a bunch of garbage. Once it’s installed. Go here and just add all these subscriptions. https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist

And I subscribe to Ublacklist lists - https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist

Just to add to that, uBlacklist has a power feature called subscriptions. Which is massively under utilised.

It enables a collaborative effort in blocking spam / low value domains.

If you make a block list, please submit it to the list I’ve made: https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist

(There’s no great subscription discovery as yet)

Totally agree with all the comments here, seo broke google, and they don't care. Probably sells more adwords in the end.

I found uBlacklist from this thread, and the subscription functionality enables some collaborative effort.

So I've started making a list, but unfortunately there aren't many uBlacklist subscription lists out there yet.

Be interested to see how far this could go: https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist/
