How many can you block and filter manually ? 10 ? 100 ? 10k ? Who will test sites for the blocklist ? The domain block feature is great but unless it's collaborative listing it's not gonna be super effective.

It’s super effective for me because I just block stuff as things pop up that I don’t want. I’ve also added more weight to certain domains that I want more results from. I wouldn’t want anyone touching my config, it’s mine and it works great!

.... Test sites for the blocklist? What?

Also they do share the most blocked/raised/lowered etc sites: https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard

We've had this problem of "good defaults" before with ad trackers blocking domains. I'm sure it'll be Sooner than later when some community lists become popular and begin being followed en mass

I meant your average user can test a handful of sites if they are seo spam or good sites but a single search return 10+ results and even more when a user searches multiple things , multiple times a day . Average user doesn't have the time to test these many websites.

1,000

Kagi is admittedly pretty great for this.

As an alternative, ublacklist is free and open-source.

Average serp page has 10 results . What if all 10 matches with your blacklist ? Not to mention you can't do anything if the engine dosen't search deeper .

You probably have to browse to the next page or refine the search terms.
