I can see a certain kind of absolute beginner enjoying w3schools more than MDN, it’s a little less intimidating.

When you’re first learning a subject you often want simple lies more than complicated truths.

This is a well written post. I describes me perfectly and my knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS. I usually start with w3schools, then if I need deeper info, I repeat the search with "mdn". That does the trick!

And this is exactly why the custom domain block list is so useful. Blocking w3schools entirely would be unhelpful to beginners, but a lot of experts find their content to be less helpful than that on other websites and would rather not see them at all.
