I've also noticed a lot of sites that now scrape GitHub Issues and the discussions on there that are increasingly spamming search results.

GithubMemory, GitMemory and Giters are the domains that come to mind immediately, but there's loads of other non-obvious ones as well.

Domain denylisting can't come soon enough as a feature from search results, urgh.

Crude solution: At least in Firefox you can assign keyword shortcuts to search engines. Since you control the requested url you can -site:w3schools.com the offending domains.

Also there's an addon for hiding results from specific sites: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hohser/

The uBlacklist browser extension lets you blacklist domains from Google Search. See if that helps you.
