>I also have a uBlock configuration that removes 280 domains from Google Results because they're all auto-generated spam of Stackoverflow answers.

Can you describe exactly what you mean? If there is a way to hide specific domains from showing in search results, it would be an incredible boon for me.

That's exactly what it is. See this repo:

https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

In particular look in the dist folder, find your search engine(s) of choice, and then get the blocklist you'd like. Paste into "MyFilters" in uBlock.

Bonus: Here's one that entirely blocks Youtube Shorts in your Subscriptions feed:

Thank you. Will this die with v3 manifest in Chrome? I used a plugin to disable some google results but this is amazing!
