Which sites do you blacklist from your internet searches? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I am currently self-hosting a meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don't want to show up.

The only website to make my blacklist so far is slant.co (useless SEO-riddled site that always comes up when I search for software comparisons). I also automatically redirect all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.

I'm looking to expand this list. So, which websites do you blacklist? Either using software, or just mentally.

If you ever do web dev (even just occasionally edit HTML), I highly recommend blocking w3cschools.com. it's not just lacking, it's often flat wrong.

I'll second this. Learned this a long time ago. Anything you think you need on w3c schools can be found elsewhere.

Yeah. MDN is one of the best sites ever, and I don't think I've ever found a mistake on it

Which one do you abide by? Maybe the mozilla one or perhaps caniuse?

Both those two are fantastic!

I've found that used to be more true than it is lately. I think they're making an effort now.
