- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18659682, 6 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 4 out of 5by Bill_H, a year 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 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14516243, 2 years 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 4 out of 5by jamvaru, 2 years agovery clean interface, easy to figure out, use
. but, i'd like some right click functionality
. and, shortcut keys
. possibly, popup buttons, one click functions
. optionally, these things
... will continue to use forever, likely ;#)
(*&^) - Rated 4 out of 5by bodyalive, 2 years agoIs it possible to filter specific words instead of domains?

browser.storage.sync.get('domainsList').then(s => {
browser.storage.sync.set({domainsList: s.domainsList.filter(d => d.domainName)});
});
Uncaught (in promise) Error: QuotaExceededError: storage.sync API call exceeded its quota limitations. - Rated 4 out of 5by FirstAidPoetry, 5 years agoWorks a treat! Just wish it worked on the Image Search pages too.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for your feedback. It would be complicate to do it for the extension. I'll probably make a dedicated add-on for this. - Rated 4 out of 5by survivor303, 6 years agoOnly problem is that, the search results dosnt disappear from the search results when using the quick buttons (without refresh the search). Perhaps it needs do lots more to add this feature but if it can be done, please do :) Anyways it is great and must have tool.

posted 6 years agoHello Janne, Thanks for your comment.
Normally, if you click the button it should hide the result immediately. Could you please add an issue here: https://github.com/pistom/hohser/issues ? Please add some details about your browser version and OS. If you can, try to disable other add-ons you use and let me know ✌️ 🙂
