Edit – there is a greasemonkey/ tampermonkey script you can use rather than a chrome extension:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/1682-google-hit-hider-by-domain-search-filter-block-sites
The Chrome extension to block sites from Google has been deleted from the web-store (surprise surprise, Google owns Chrome, so they obv. don’t want anyone touching Google-search)
This article has alternatives – Remove Google results, block list
https://www.pcguide.com/tips/personal-blocklist/
I am starting a list of blocked websites/ domains from Google search.
- forbes.com
- When linking directly to an article page – there is a blank landing page, then the user needs to click through to the actual page – then on load, a huge explanatory banner pops up covering the article… If I’m going to read or share articles, I want to see the article immediately… If Forbes ever fixes this, tag me/ tell me in the comments below and I’ll remove this filter… ~ There are so many news sources – ain’t nobody got time for that ~
- Website is blocked if you have adblock
- upworthy.com
- Congratulations on becoming a huge website in a short amount of time, but if that means pushing subscription pop-ups on me every time I visit your page – I don’t want a part of it. Click the YouTube logo in the corner of the video and send me that link, not the UpWorthy landing page.
- lyricsmania.com
- Upon loading the site, a popup asks you to like/ share on social media.. But I know nothing about how good your site is, and I’d rather block it from search results and share the website on this list than share on social media…
