- Rated 5 out of 5by ii, 17 hours agomost of my duckduckgo searches been littered with ai generated slop, especially automotive searches. theres so much! they bury all the legit human written content im looking for, especially forum posts specific to the car im working on. duckduckgo only lets me block up to 5 sites, this extension lets me block the other, at the moment, i got 200 sites in my blocklist and more to come. if you wanna store that many, go into settings and check the "use local storage instead off sync" option, after like 130 sites i ran out of sync quota haha

- Rated 4 out of 5by Baloo Uriza, 6 months agoToo many entries cause Mozilla Sync to choke, but if Mozilla Sync isn't part of the equation or you're willing to work around that limitation, it'll happily sort thousands of sites!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18779580, a year agoBeen using it with DDG, and it's been life-changing. No more raking through SEO optimizers with useless articles that go on forever. Blocked, moved on. Now my research is free of the mental load of weeding out these websites. Recommend 11/10
- Rated 1 out of 5by Natustell, a year agoThe limit of blocked pages is incredibly low. I hit the limit within 2 hrs of researching.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14108576, 2 years agoWorks great for Google. But. The docs say it'll work for other search engines, but I can't figure out how to make it happen.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Tamm Horsfall, 2 years agoGreat for studying purposes to filter out less credible sources and highlight those with constantly good information.
Edit: The limit for blocked/highlighted pages is super low. Please ten-fold it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18659682, 2 years agoI was wary looking through the needed permissions for this extension so an independent review of how that data is used would be welcome but it does exactly what it says on the tin. I put in fandom.com and block in the settings and it blocked all fandom.com search results from showing up in DuckDuckGo just like it says it will.

- Rated 3 out of 5by DreadBalaur, 2 years agoOnly hide web search results. No functionality for videos/images.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17332254, 2 years agoAs others have stated, does not work with Startpage. Not able to block out the massive Reddit, Amazon and MS links, to name a few, is quite the bummer!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bill_H, 2 years agoIt's great, except it doesn't work for the new search-engines (e.g. Brave search) that do a much better job than Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16425262, 2 years agoThis isn't working for all supported search engines in Firefox. While it's working with DuckDuckGo, it's not with Startpage. Adding a domain to the list to be hidden does not affect the search result list. There's an old open PR and the last activity in the codebase was quite some time ago. This leads me to think the extension has been abandoned

- Rated 2 out of 5by Zen3211, 3 years agoIt does not work for video search results. Can you make an addon that will work for video search results?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Piecevcake, 3 years agoDidn't hide or transparent, but did highlight the 1st one, with part of the url specified.
rule for *.com did nothing
2nd try at highlighting didn't highlight.
Am I missing something? - Rated 2 out of 5by HansoloAddons, 3 years agoI moved away from "Seartch Filter" which sadly doesn't work to that. First test of "block or highlight" : I hide the domain "https://stability.ai/". I run a search to see what happens : it hid the domain, cool, but also tons of other pages such as this one: "https://www.instagram.com/stability.ai/" ... Why ??? Because... it has the words "Stability AI" in it ?
This add-on proposes to hide a DOMAIN NAME but instead it hides tons of (totally) unrelated domains.
Absolutely useless as it is.
Two stars because the different options for hidding / highlighting are definitely a great idea. Too bad it doesn't understand... what is a domain name 눈_눈 - Rated 5 out of 5by Thijs Putman, 3 years ago
