there used to be a google provided extension to do this, personal blocklist

they stopped providing it for some reason...

I liked it for blocking quora/pintrest/w3schools/...

Still there https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...

I just tried it for W3schools and it worked

that's some other random extension with a similar name whereas the original one was by Google themselves

personally I don't want some random third-party having the ability to exfiltrate my google cookie via an auto-updating extension

Driven by the same motivation, I've first adapted a userscript [1], but later replaced it with simple uBlock Origin filters:

  google.*##.g:has(a[href*=".w3schools.com"])
