Show HN: A Firefox add-on to strip Google search results of 'blacklisted' URLs

I created an add-on which replaces !s with inurl:stackoverflow.com to replicate the bangs of duckduckgo in Google.

How come not site:stackoverflow.com? Is this just a different way of doing the same thing? I've never heard of the inurl: flag

inurl filters so that the result URLs must contain the keyword specified. So inurl:w3 would only show results where w3 is in the URL. It works for this use case but it's better to just use site like you mentioned.

You can't even fully rely on those operatorsike site: anymore because Google now happily serves you results from miscreants that tag their scam site urls with valid site names, so instead of getting results from only let's say mozilla.org, you also now get them from their scamsite because they appended the actual mozilla site url into their own.

Are you sure that happens with site and not inurl? That's a big bug. Do you have an example?
