A filter that blocks spam & misleading websites from appearing in search results via uBlocklist - popcar2/BadWebsiteBlocklist

Much like everyone else, I got fed up with search engines. So I decided to make a giant blocklist that cleans up garbage search results!

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.

    Will this “infinite scroll” something like Google and inline the results so the result page doesn’t end up looking like a single entry for really gnarly searches?

    I can imagine searching for something like ‘baked bread’ and getting more AI fluff than good results, enough where you might have to trod to a second page.

    And I’m lazy.

      I don’t think so, it’ll just remove the bad results and you’ll have to click next page yourself. Technology has its limits.
