Why is this supported through a Chrome extension?

Google is tracking everything about me. So I expect that certainly they can track which sites I don't like, especially when I mark them as such.

They use to for a short time, I don't recall if they ever said why they removed the feature from google search itself. This extension came after they removed it.
