It's gotten so bad that there's now an ad blocker filter list that removes the StackOverflow clones from search results.

I’d love a list of URLs for low quality stuff like GeeksforGeeks so I can block them all.

I'm not OP, but for those of you who saw this comment and were hoping for a link, the one that I use is https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

Any other external filter lists that are useful?

Not software dev specific, but I also use Peter Lowe's ads and trackers blocklist (https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php). Note that this one can be a bit aggressive (blocks url shorteners and clickthroughs on google ads even if they are the correct place you want to visit because, well, tracking), but it is well maintained and generally a fantastic addition to the default ublock origin lists imo

Is this a hosts file only? It doesn't seem to want to import into uBlock.
