Blocks specific sites from appearing in Google search results
Chrome Web Store / Firefox Add-ons / App Store (for macOS and iOS, thanks to Group-Leafy)
This extension prevents the sites you specify from appearing in Google search results.
You can add rules on search result pages, or on sites to be blocked by clicking the toolbar icon. Rules can be specified either by match patterns (e.g. *://*.example.com/*
) or by regular expressions (e.g. /example\.(net|org)/
).
You can synchronize rulesets across devices via cloud storage. At the moment, Google Drive and Dropbox are supported.
You can also subscribe to public rulesets. Some subscriptions are listed on the website: https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/subscriptions
This extension is available in the below search engines.

*1 Only if "Always play videos on Qwant.com" is turned off
*2 Only certain public instances are supported. If you want to add support for your own SearX/SearXNG search engine, edit src/common/search-engines.ts
and build the extension manually
*3 Due to the difficulty in obtaining the full URLs of image links, this extension does not support per-subdomain blocking in Brave Image Search. (For example, if the link is to "www.example.com", it will block the entire "example.com").
To publish a ruleset as a subscription, place a ruleset file encoded in UTF-8 on a suitable HTTP(S) server, and publish the URL. Here is an example hosted on GitHub:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iorate/ublacklist-example-subscription/master/uBlacklist.txt
You can prepend YAML frontmatter to your ruleset. It is recommended that you set the name
variable.
---
name: Your ruleset name
---
*://*.example.com/*
In uBlacklist >=6.6.0 for Chrome, subscription links are available. To add a subscription with url
, the following URL can be used as a shortcut to the options page:
https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/subscribe?url={urlEncode(url)}
For the above example:
https://iorate.github.io/ublacklist/subscribe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fiorate%2Fublacklist-example-subscription%2Fmaster%2FuBlacklist.txt
