Not that I have to tell anyone, but this is tremendously useful for filtering out the flood of over-optimized garbage sites polluting the search indices nowadays.
For installation instructions see the link. (Tl;dr: Install the browser extension TamperMonkey, then click the green “Install this script” button on the page.)
(While there are also browser extensions for filtering search results, even ones that are purportedly open-source, the problem is that one has to trust that the program one installs is the same as the code in the github repository. With user scripts, on the other hand, one can see exactly which code gets installed and run, so that one only has to trust the Tampermonkey extension, and this extension is recommended by the Chrome web store and monitored for security by the Firefox web store.)
Hope it comes with Pinterest as the default. Most useless trash out there is that website
Kagi shows the top domains that Kagi users block from their search results.

The seven most-blocked domains, in descending order, are:
I think that that’s a fairly-damning statement on Pinterest.
That and GettyImages, I hate getting those in my image search results on Google because you can never actually download the image you are looking for.
On a Kagi Images search, there’s an option to “View Image”, which will let you view the image directly, and then manipulate it, including saving it.
On desktop Firefox, you can save any image used by a webpage. Click on the lock icon by the URL. Click “Connection secure”. Click “More information”. Go to the “Media” tab. All images on the current webpage will be listed and saveable.
First thing that came to mind!

I think I love you 😁
It’s kinda broken right now unfortunately. I only used it to block quora and it appears to be unable to do that anymore.
I use ublacklist, works fine for me.
+1 for UBlacklist. Here’s the link if anyone’s interested: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
FOSS and supports Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Us this part of UBlockOrigin or shall I install it side by side?
It’s a separate thing, open source and actively developed. You can either get it from github or directly for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/ublacklist/, that way you’ll get automatic updates as well.
I do that with searxng. Plus boosting or reducing importance of several websites. Also automatic redirections.
Using Kagi you can go into personalization settings and block any site. Or boost/lower its rankings or pin it so it’s always on top if it has relevant results.
I love this feature
“Oh, you scraped the docs from the real host and added ads? Well, I’ll never see you again”
It’s my favorite feature of Kagi. I’ve blocked so many AI sites.
Id rather add it to my ad blocker or dns sink hole server
I’ve been looking for something like this to block Reddit links. Not just because it’s trash now but I’ve found it randomly blocks my IP address. Sometimes I can access and other times I can’t. It’s blocked us entirely at work and is so frustrating when I’m looking for help on something I’m troubleshooting. Would rather those just not appear to begin with.
Add
-site:reddit.comto your search terms?Doesn’t work if you have a ton of domains that you don’t want, but fine if it’s just one.
I tried that and it doesn’t work the times I’ve tried.
It works on Google for me. Probably some search engines out there don’t use that syntax, though.
I thought it was native. Click the three dots next to a result. I don’t have an extensions for it.
This (e.g. on DuckDuckGo) only excludes the results for that one search, by adding the option “-site:example.com” to the query. When one conducts an entirely new search, the domain is included again. (Also, one will probably quickly reach a limit if one were to append a growing number of domain exclusion options to the search string.)
Which of these work on Firefox?
Tampermonkey uses them and works on Firefox. “Userscripts” is a term for little Javascripts that are run by Tampermonkey to modify webpages on specific domains.
