Yesterday the top upvoted comment for "Why We Desperately Need a New (and Better) Google" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2057772 was adding personal domain blacklists. I offered to build this if there was enough interest so here's a minimum viable product for Chrome (Firefox soon to follow): https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jiicbcimbjppjbckmoknagndlhjbeohb. Your feedback is welcome!
Great initiative. Having a "Add domain to blacklist" option on right click would be a nice addition.<p>I seriously wish this matures well like Adblock Plus. Imagine having a crowd sourced blacklist of domains and users can easily add it to the extension. (similar to easy filter based on geographic locations for adblock)
Code is now on Github: <a href="https://github.com/jhchen/Search-Engine-Blacklist" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jhchen/Search-Engine-Blacklist</a>. I'll be working on implementing the changes you all have suggested but feel free to message me if you want to join in!
Really badass piece of work, Jason, thank you for taking a bite out of this problem. Simple, effective.<p>Some gravy on top would be an in-line blacklist button beside search results but even spending thirty seconds to set up the blacklist in advance gives you a Google that's a lot more useful than the default. Bravo, sir.
Good work.<p>Stackoverflowerizer does a similar job by redirecting to the original content when user clicks on a similar website link.<p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gledhololmniapejefjfocffkhoamlll" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gledhololmniapej...</a>
Very nice, I never noticed your comment but I'm glad you posted this and followed through. I had something like this in mind and added it to my to do list after reading the same article. I'm glad you made it available first. Cheers to you!
You could set this up like Adblock, where sites being blacklisted are anonymously reported back to a central location. Highly blocked websites are offered to be automatically added to the blacklist when you install the extension.
