I am currently self-hosting a meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don’t want to show up.
The only website to make my blacklist so far is slant.co (useless SEO-riddled site that always comes up when I search for software comparisons). I also automatically redirect all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.
I’m looking to expand this list. So, which websites do you blacklist? Either using software, or just mentally.
Just some very spammy or scammy domain:
Pinterest is only in my “lower” list because I’ve had some very few occasions (extremely long tail image searches) where pinterest was actually the best result, I just don’t want them to be in front of all the superior results
you.com is a legit search engine though.
I was wondering why it was there, I can only imagine they also have articles as I never added anything manually and always from the search results.
Yes, fuck healthline
Completely non-compliant with GDPR and potentially the CCPA too. I can’t wait for someone to class action their collective asses.
