Not that I have to tell anyone, but this is tremendously useful for filtering out the flood of over-optimized garbage sites polluting the search indices nowadays.
For installation instructions see the link. (Tl;dr: Install the browser extension TamperMonkey, then click the green “Install this script” button on the page.)
(While there are also browser extensions for filtering search results, even ones that are purportedly open-source, the problem is that one has to trust that the program one installs is the same as the code in the github repository. With user scripts, on the other hand, one can see exactly which code gets installed and run, so that one only has to trust the Tampermonkey extension, and this extension is recommended by the Chrome web store and monitored for security by the Firefox web store.)
Edit: As suggested by @Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de in their comment below, uBlacklist is probably a better way to achieve this goal:
better yet: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist here are the blocklists i subscribe to: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NotaInutilis/Super-SEO-Spam-Suppressor/main/ublacklist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/main/list_uBlacklist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/popcar2/BadWebsiteBlocklist/refs/heads/main/uBlacklist.txt
There are versions in the Chrome webstore, the Firefox store and the Apple store for Safari, which are all linked to by the GitHub repo, confirming their provenance. By default, it only filters search results on Google; to make it work on other search engines, see this page from the docs.
Hope it comes with Pinterest as the default. Most useless trash out there is that website
Kagi shows the top domains that Kagi users block from their search results.
https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard
The seven most-blocked domains, in descending order, are:
pinterest.com
pinterest.co.uk
pinterest.de
pinterest.ca
pinterest.fr
pinterest.com.au
pinterest.es
I think that that’s a fairly-damning statement on Pinterest.
That and GettyImages, I hate getting those in my image search results on Google because you can never actually download the image you are looking for.
On a Kagi Images search, there’s an option to “View Image”, which will let you view the image directly, and then manipulate it, including saving it.
On desktop Firefox, you can save any image used by a webpage. Click on the lock icon by the URL. Click “Connection secure”. Click “More information”. Go to the “Media” tab. All images on the current webpage will be listed and saveable.
First thing that came to mind!
