I’ve never considered black listing a site before tbh. Do you guys find it worth the effort when you could just, not click on the links?
Not op, but I have been doing this for years with a userscript. Getting rid of SEO garbage, pintrest, quora, etc links makes more room for the helpful results.
It is also a good way to ensure you don't land on any recipe sites that are built more for wasting your time than helping you cook.
I just got into the habit of permabanning any site that had anti-user patterns, annoying popups, right click/back button blocking, or clickbait headlines. I don't see a lot of that stuff anymore. Makes the net a bit more useful. Or at least less frustrating.
