Title. There's just some websites I want to permanently blacklist for my DuckDuckGo searches, and don't want to type in a boolean function every time I search something.

Not that Ive ever heard of.

But Kagi makes it easy. It's called Personalized Search. It's so nice

Edit: Apparently DDG got rid of that feature.

I love Kagi! Blacklisting domains was an instant purchase for me. Yes you twiddle around with just hiding results in a browser through a plugin, but that is just obfuscating it for yourself.

And it's also client-side. Kagi filters them server-side AFAICT, so from your POV it's instant and without client-side filtering jank.

Love Kagi as well, but haven't used this feature yet. What sites do you block?

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 7 points 2 days ago

It's my favorite feature of Kagi. You can rank them too, so if you still want results from a site but don't want it at the top, you can send it to the bottom, or pin important sites to the top.

I achieve this on my own SearxNG configured with the hostnames plugin.

Say goodbye to LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.

I really need to do this.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This sounds interesting. Can you change hostnames as well, like say www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com?

I believe the ublacklist extension can do it if you use firefox or one of its forks.

[–] Screen_Shatter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Great idea. I will never buy from amazon so filtering that out automatically would be fantastic when looking for products

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

You could write a userscript to maintain a blacklist with eg greasemonkey

I use this, and there exist big lists of sites to block on github.

there are plugins that allow you to write your own CSS for a website. if you know enough CSS , and depending on the structure of the search results, you can probably make a style rule to hide things based on the domain

Make a bookmarklet to do it for you?
