All I want is a feature to black list certain domain names from search results. Similar to YouTube never show this channel again option. If google hosted such a feature then they would get a very strong signal on poor results and would go a long way to punishing bad behavior and cleaning up the net. It’s so easy to do that I have to assume they chose not to because they make a percentage of the revenue from the content farms.


Quenhus posted his custom uBlockOrigin filter list for dealing with dev spam sites popping up in search. https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

I'm trying that now. But previously I was using the uBlackList Firefox extension with some block list subscriptions. https://github.com/rjaus/awesome-ublacklist


I’m working on a new search engine that will allow you to do that. (It’s still a work-in-progress, but you can try it out here: https://entfer.com/).


This would be awesome.
