- Rated 5 out of 5by Tamm Horsfall, 8 days agoGreat for studying purposes to filter out less credible sources and highlight those with constantly good information. Not to mention the filter for clickbait websites that buy the top spots for google results. Well done.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18659682, 2 months agoI was wary looking through the needed permissions for this extension so an independent review of how that data is used would be welcome but it does exactly what it says on the tin. I put in fandom.com and block in the settings and it blocked all fandom.com search results from showing up in DuckDuckGo just like it says it will.

- Rated 3 out of 5by DreadBalaur, 5 months agoOnly hide web search results. No functionality for videos/images.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17332254, 5 months agoAs others have stated, does not work with Startpage. Not able to block out the massive Reddit, Amazon and MS links, to name a few, is quite the bummer!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bill_H, 7 months agoIt's great, except it doesn't work for the new search-engines (e.g. Brave search) that do a much better job than Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16425262, 7 months agoThis isn't working for all supported search engines in Firefox. While it's working with DuckDuckGo, it's not with Startpage. Adding a domain to the list to be hidden does not affect the search result list. There's an old open PR and the last activity in the codebase was quite some time ago. This leads me to think the extension has been abandoned

- Rated 2 out of 5by Zen3211, a year agoIt does not work for video search results. Can you make an addon that will work for video search results?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Piecevcake, a year agoDidn't hide or transparent, but did highlight the 1st one, with part of the url specified.
rule for *.com did nothing
2nd try at highlighting didn't highlight.
Am I missing something? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13524479, a year agoI moved away from "Seartch Filter" which sadly doesn't work to that. First test of "block or highlight" : I hide the domain "https://stability.ai/". I run a search to see what happens : it hid the domain, cool, but also tons of other pages such as this one: "https://www.instagram.com/stability.ai/" ... Why ??? Because... it has the words "Stability AI" in it ?
This add-on proposes to hide a DOMAIN NAME but instead it hides tons of (totally) unrelated domains.
Absolutely useless as it is.
Two stars because the different options for hidding / highlighting are definitely a great idea. Too bad it doesn't understand... what is a domain name 눈_눈 - Rated 5 out of 5by Thijs Putman, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14516243, a year agoI've been using this for several years with Google Search, and it was initially very effective in blocking unwanted results. For some time now, it has failed to block "sponsored" results, which may be a drawback it can't overcome--and so I've become accustomed to ignoring the top handful. Today I discovered a new wrinkle. Sadly, some sites have evidently strong-armed Google into ignoring my wish never to be reminded of them, specifically Amazon and Goodreads, an Amazon subsidiary. This add-on has therefore become much less useful to me. I would be happy to support it financially if it were more robust.

- Rated 1 out of 5by casa26687, 2 years agoOnly have youtube.com and it's not being blocked... Google seems to think I want to watch videos about unrelated subject to my queries.
