Introduction | uBlacklistiorate.github.io uBlacklist is a Google Search filter for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

It works with DuckDuckGo and Bing too, in case Google killed your Grandma or smth

They didn't, they just want my personal data lol

they give my data to cops, that's enough for me to abhor Google/Alphabet, lol

I think I stopped using google after I'd had enough of it replacing searches for actual things I wanted with searches for businesses and products. Apparently you can add "-product" to remove products and "-ai" or "-generated" to get rid of a lot of those useless SEO-optimized blogs, though.

I've been adding "before:2023" because I saw someone say that avoided the AI-generated gobbledygook.

Before 2022. StableDiffusion and Midjourney were released around the second half of 22

Thanks!

Google just never shows me real search results and saved all my search history for 20 years even after I tried to delete it so….

It says it does, but I tested it with the Minecraft mod reposters list, (easy to tell if that one is working or not) and it does block them for me on Google search, but didn't seem to work on DuckDuckGo. Using Vivaldi browser for both.

You have to turn it on for non-Google browsers in its settings (IDK why)

Ah, tyvm. I managed to figure out all the subscription stuff but didn't notice that lol

Sweet, yes, it works now Search engines will be usable again, huzzah

Really could use a one-click subscribe, there are a lot of lists

FOR SAFARI?!! 😱🧡 📌

Useful not just for artists and creatives, but anyone annoyed by the enshittification of the web!

And then a hero came along :,,,)

And denied the AI "song" And you'll cast your fears aside As your art will now survive

I'm not much of a creative, but I massively appreciate this! Thank you. My feeds do not allow AI content, and I have absolutely NO interest in seeing it, personally either. Support artists!

If anyone wants to use this for a search engines over than google make sure to enable other search engines in the options page. It's disabled by default for some reason.

(and suddenly half the internet disappears) Mind you, not the half I'd miss. :)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add the subscriptions. I've scanned the github page and also the extension's details and neither is very clear.

On the plugin side, settings, scroll down to subscription. On the github side, click on the .txt for the blacklist and then click on the "Raw" button. Then copy-paste the URL for the raw text file into the plugin. Lmk if you get it working!

ah okay I found it finally. apparently Firefox calls it "options" instead of settings (so dumb) and hides it REAL GOOD 😂

Any chance you could help me too? I'm also on Firefox and I cannot find how to add the subscription either..

menu button at top right of browser, Add-ons and themes, uBlacklist, then the three dots button to the right of the name at the top, then options, scroll down to Subscription, Add a subscription, add name, add URL from the github (ends in .txt), hit Add I think that does it!

Thanks so much!! That helped tons, aah I would've never found it!

I'm trying to do the same thing (I'm on Firefox) and I can't figure this out either. I added the plugin, but I don't understand how to add the AI blocklists. The menu button at the top right of my browser is just the close button "X" so I don't understand what you mean. Can you help me, please?

the best thing to wake up to this morning, thank you!

Of course! Happy to share! 💜

This is LIFE changing thank you so much for sharing!

Y'all doing the work this is great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Does it also kill Pintrest?

If you want to remove all of Pinterest from image search results, yes. If you want to remove AI Pinterest uploaders specifically, that's out of the scope of this one, I think. 🤔

Pintrest will spoil any image search with or without AI.

Head on over to Pinterest, then click the plugin's icon thingy to add it. Or, in image search, just play "Block this site" whack-a-mole with all of Pinterest's international domains.

Update: Someone added a Pinterest-specific blocklist. Wonderful stuff.

This is rad as fuck

Wish there was one to scrub Pinterest 😔

Riiiigght??

Skim this thread - apparently there is!

Humm, dose not seem to work with google images yet

It does for me… It might be that it's a little less obvious? Or the blocklists are missing a site? If you see a "block this site" option under individual image results, that means it's on and working

ahh yeah I only see "block this site" under the umm text search results, not images. Chrome over here

This is a random guess: The plugin doesn't catch images for me if I do general search, scroll down to the image section, and click "show more images" But it does work if I start on Google Images, and search there.

Ah no dice on my end. weird! maybe my chromes a messed up version

I'm so happy I won't have to squint at every image result anymore

Thank you! I recently heard about ublacklist but didn't know how to get the ai list so this helps a lot💗
