- Rated 2 out of 5by Bathsheba, 6 years agoWorks on regular Google search results, yay! Update: not so yay, adds annoying "Block *.com" footnote to every search result. Don't want or need this, takes up valuable screen real estate, please remove. This is what will eventually make me uninstall this add-on.
Does not work on Google Images results. :-( :-( :-( All I wanted here was to remove Pinterest results from image searches. My search continues.Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi Bathsheba,
The annoying "Block *.com" footnote could be remove in the preference page, you are not the only one who don't like this. ;P
Also, you are not the only one who want the image block feature, here is the ticket:

I will make some big change for this add-on recently, hope you are willing to wait for it. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by joe11111, 6 years agoFarewell Washington post, your subscription clickbait is gone

- Rated 5 out of 5by PERCE-NEIGE, 6 years agoVery useful to filter the search! I like the option that hide "block this domain" in the results. Maybe it would be good to have it in the context menu?
Suggestion: add a support for wildcards ? and *, as it doesn't seems to work now. (For instance *.fr doesn't block everything with a .fr domain). Other suggestion: add a feature to block also the access for the site. For instance, if I want to use the addon as a parental control, the child could search in Google, or typing directly the URL, or some site could redirect me to the URL I don't want. But it would be probably good to make another extension for this feature, to let this one light in weight. - Rated 5 out of 5by B̅, 6 years agoすばらしい!
注意: こういう拡張機能を用いたい人は大抵Google検索のURL変数に「pws=0(個別化検索を使用しない)」を含めていると思う。ブロックリストにサイトを追加したいときはこの変数を一旦抜いてGoogle検索にアクセスすること。 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14146487, 6 years agoGreat piece of software. Highly recommended !!!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14335240, 6 years agoThis add on started out as a very good programme, just what I needed but seems quite unstable.
For some google searches it behaves as required but then either allows blocked domains to appear or blocks everything bar one random site.
This is a prelimanary assement as I am awaiting replies to the issues above from the developerDeveloper response
posted 5 years agoCurrently, this add-on will hide those urls contains any of your patterns in blocklists.
ie, if you block 'a', then apple.com, whhhhh.ai and ailabs.tw will all be hid.
I am still thinking about how to let user realize it via UI change... - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14331387, 6 years agoWow! Finally got rid of those pesky Pinterest results! My only complain was that I didn't like the 'block..domain' below each result and then I discovered that you can disable it in the settings! A++++++++
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13360870, 6 years agoI use it to block Pinterest from Google results. And it works fine. Pinterest sucks!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by ashleedawg, 6 years agoVery good given the last of alternatives; Ive used this for years. Overdue for some UI tweaks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Norzemen, 6 years agoFinally a tool which allows me to configure search the way I want it. Too bad Google couldn't provide this for me, but then why would they. They want to drive me to their crony sites.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14240329, 6 years agoVery helpful. One problem though: The UI and method for managing my blocklist is a bit clunky. It is also slow to change pages in the manager window if you have a lot of blocked sites. I would suggest some kind of optimized list view or some easier and faster way to edit the blocklist without sifting through pages of entries.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nikita, 6 years agoINCREDIBLY useful. Just blocks all useless sites permanently (you can unblock them easily).
