Description

uBlacklist is a browser extension that removes websites you specify from Google search results. This is useful when you frequently encounter low-quality, spammy, or irrelevant sites that clutter your search page. Instead of manually ignoring them, you can block them permanently.

Key Features

  • Blocking via match patterns: You can block entire domains or specific URL patterns using match patterns like *://*.example.com/*. This is ideal for blocking an entire site, such as a known clickbait domain.
  • Blocking via regular expressions: For more precise control, you can use regular expressions (e.g., /example\.(net|org)/) to block multiple sites that share a common pattern. This is useful for blocking all sites from a particular content farm or template.
  • Quick blocking from search results: When you see a site you want to block, you can add it directly from the search result page by clicking the extension icon. This saves time compared to manually entering rules.
  • Support for multiple search engines: Besides Google, uBlacklist works with other search engines like Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex. The full list of supported engines is maintained on the project's GitHub page.
  • Cloud synchronization: Your blocklist can be synced across devices using Google Drive or Dropbox. This ensures that the same sites are blocked on your work and home computers without manual re-entry.
  • Subscription to public rulesets: You can subscribe to shared blocklists maintained by the community. These are curated lists of known spam or low-quality sites, which can be a good starting point for new users. Available subscriptions are listed on the uBlacklist website.

uBlacklist is designed for users who want to take control of their search experience by filtering out unwanted content. It focuses on simplicity and flexibility, allowing both broad and precise blocking rules. The extension is open-source and actively maintained, with updates and changelogs available on GitHub.
