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.

    I’d be happy if there is a way to block webshops. You can block e.g. Amazon but then there will be another shop in its place.

    I wasn’t so happy with Searx but I think I’ll have a look at SearXNG if blocking is an option
