by Firefox user 13891297, 3 years agoExcellent add-on. I was using another of pistom's add-ons specific to DuckDuckGo and recently found and installed this one. I mostly use DDG search but am really glad to have something that works on Google as well. I use it primarily to suppress Pinterest links from infesting web & image search results.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Zen3211, 5 months 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, 5 months 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, 8 months 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, 8 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14516243, 10 months 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, a year 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Nikita, a year agoThree years ago, I rated this extension 5/5, but now it's a broken mess that refuses to work properly on Google, if you change a setting or two.
It was working fine before, but the moment I changed settings for first time since 3 years ago, it stopped working. Can't hide any domain, nothing, slows down browser to the point of crashing it.
I reported the issue on their Github like 2 weeks ago, no response. Extension is dead, no development ongoing. - Rated 4 out of 5by jamvaru, a year 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 3 out of 5by Falazi, 2 years agoIt seems to work well at removing results, however this addon adds an annoying arrow when you hover over results with no way to disable it, so I cannot continue to use this addon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by James, 2 years agoThis is a fantastic tool.
Please fix your contribution page - I can't access it to donate/support. - Rated 5 out of 5by seamus, 2 years agoSo far, so good. A couple of comments: `hohser` - the repo name on GitHub - turns up nothing relevant in the Firefox "search for add-ons". Even here in Firefox, you call it `Block or Highlight Search Engine Results`. You should make this easier to find!
But it seems to be an incredibly useful add-on; it knocks off the scum-sucking sites that buy their way to the top of DDG search results. - Rated 5 out of 5by linux, 2 years ago
