A Firefox add-on to strip Google search results of 'blacklisted' URLs launched on May 24, 2020 with 574 votes, #16 of 4,813 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.
In plain words
This Firefox add-on filters Google search results by removing URLs that users designate as "blacklisted." It lets people automatically exclude specific websites from their search results, reducing clutter and improving search relevance. The tool is useful for anyone who wants to customize their Google searches by hiding unwanted domains or low-quality sources. Available since 2020, the add-on is open-source and hosted on GitHub.

Yesterday the top upvoted comment for "Why We Desperately Need a New (and Better) Google" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2057772 was adding personal domain blacklists. I offered to build this if there was enough interest so here's a minimum viable product for Chrome (Firefox soon to follow): https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jiicbcimbjppjbckmoknagndlhjbeohb. Your feedback is welcome!

Firefox extension to obfuscate web page text2022 · addons.mozilla.org · ▲235Sometimes you might want to share a screenshot of the website you're on, without revealing the personal data that is visible at that time. With Obfuscate, you can make text unreadable without changing the structure of the web page. Hit the extension button or press Alt+Shift+O to activate for the current page. (Note that extensions can't modify the add-on website, so trying it on there won't work.) Credit for the original idea: https://chaos.social/@maris/108379386421123630
A blocklist to remove spam and bad websites from search results2025 · github.com · ▲225Hi HN! I've been fed up with search results so much that I decided to make a giant blocklist to remove garbage links by using uBlacklist. I browsed other blocklists and wasn't very satisfied from what exists now; the goal of this one is to be super organized and transparent, explaining why each site was blocked via issues. Contributions welcome! Even though around 100 domains are blocked so far, I already noticed a big improvement in casual searches. You'd be surprised how some AI generated websites can dominate the #1 page on DuckDuckGo.
