I'm pretty sure there are browser extensions that already do this for you on Google. You can do it manually on each search but that's obviously cumbersome. But browser extensions are basically what you're describing and still free

There's literally not. For blocking, sure, but not changing the behaviours of your search algorithm.

Oh so I'm just imagining this? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublacklist/pncfbmialoiaghdehhbnbhkkgmjanfhe

It literally lets you construct a blacklist so those sites don't show up in future search results.

This one has been around for over 5 years.

Blocks sites you specify from appearing in Google search results

I wonder if you even read my comment? Also chill, there's no need to condescend over a search engine lmao.

Yeah you're right. I only read up to the part about blocking sites and got excited to share my knowledge. Sorry.

I appreciate the apology ♥
