Is there any trick to quickly remove slop websites from search engine results?

marginalia-search.com has useful filters for this kind of thing (more "include XYZ" than "exclude ABC" though). Been using it more often for the same reason.

@dried ah, I haven't tried Marginalia. I am mostly on qwant and ddg, and find both pretty polluted. I guess I should shop around again. Thank you!

On duckduckgo you can block some domains in the results, but only 5 of them, so not very useful.

you can install this extension made and updated by a french media github.com/Gathor59/Extension-…
It will display a warning when trying to visit such a website.

even better : use uBlackList, uBlockOrigin and update the block lists with websites lists you find online :
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…

There are lists online you can use as a base : github.com/laylavish/uBlockOri…

@Julianoe no, but thank you anyway for these suggestions, I'll give them a go.

I'm happy to try to help the cause by adding to a block list too, even if it seems a little like shouting into the wind these days. Sometimes I wonder if they are spinning out websites as fast as I search for them.

I've found the uBlacklist extension + the "Super SEO Spam Suppressor" blocklist that you can load into it (github.com/NotaInutilis/Super-…) has done wonders.
