There's a Chromium extension, uBlacklist, that does something similar. You can blacklist sites from search results and also whitelist so those are highlighted.

Excellent! I was looking for precisely this. Next, I would also very much like to weed out image/video/map suggestions, related searches, people also ask and page snippets. The cognitive overload from navigating these giant banners and getting to my search results is getting worse by the day.

But, how stable is this? I tried so hard doing this with greasemonkey. But google's DOM is ridiculously obfuscated and kept breaking frequently. So much for the semantic web, heh?

https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist It's on Firefox as well as Chrome, and apple stuff.

It's like a gift from god that allows me to block pinterest image results. Not had any issues with it what so ever.
