HN comment orderAs others have said, it can also be done with a uBlock filter. For example, here are my filters that block and remove terrible copycats/translations of StackOverflow https://gist.github.com/quenhus/6bd2c47e5780f726f0c96c0a2ee7... . I hate these copies that somehow manage to be better referenced than StackOverflow.
I've posted this before, but you can achieve the same with uBlock Origin static filters alone without having to install any additional extensions. For example: To block results from specific domains on Google or DDG: google.*##.g:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"]) duckduckgo.*##.results > div:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"]) And it's even possible to target an element's text content with a `:has-text(/regex/)` selector: google.*##.g:has(*:has-text(/bye topic of noninterest/i)) duckduckgo.*##.results >…
I have said this before, will say it again. This can be fully achieved with uBlock and custom filters like the one maintained by quenhus[1] that can block websites across multiple search engines. You don't need to increase the vulnerability surface by installing yet another extension on your browser. [1] https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter
I think trying to piggy-back upon the success of Gorhill's uBlock and uMatrix with your naming, is a bit snidey. https://github.com/gorhill
