Hi all, sorry if this is a noob question but I use Firefox on Android and I want to know if there is a way to block certain websites from showing up in search results when searching for something.
For example, if I search for something, I don’t want the search engine to show a few reddit threads or some random news site with clickbait articles or in general which don’t make any sense? I would like to completely block such sites from showing up in my search results and in a way tidy up my search.
Perhaps Kagi would work for you? https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/website-info-personalized-results.html
You can generally add “-” before a domainname for search engines to prevent content from that domain showing up.
So for reddit, you’d search “weather -reddit.com”. It should work. This is short and generally works but If it still shows up “weather -site:reddit.com”.
you can also add multiple domains like “-reddit.com -stackoverflowclone.com -seojacked.com”
You can also do this by default using custom search engine with a search string that already contains the domains you don’t want.
For ddg:
Thank you for your answer, I am aware about adding “-” before the domain name, I am sorry should have mentioned it in my post 😔. But it does not seem feasible to do that everytime for multiple sites so I’m more interested in setting up a default list of websites I can block.
Yes please. Pinterest should be entirely filtered out of all search.
This blacklist was especially useful
