Easily Hide Unwanted Domains in Google Results

Want to filter out some useless, spammy or offensive sites from Google, DuckDuckGo, Startpage.com, Bing and Yahoo search results? Just click "block" to reduce a site's hits to a one-line notation, or hide it completely. No typing required.

For a one-minute video overview, and a detailed description of the script, please see the following page: http://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/

IF YOU HAVE AN EARLIER VERSION FROM userscripts.org

Before switching, use the Export feature to make a backup copy of your block list. This script will install alongside the old one, and you will need to disable the old one on the Firefox Add-ons page, User Scripts section, or the Tampermonkey Dashboard. Then you can import your block list to the new script.

System Requirements

Firefox users: Install the Greasemonkey extension from Mozilla Add-ons BEFORE installing this userscript.

Google Chrome users: Install the Tampermonkey extension from the Chrome store BEFORE installing this userscript.

Other Browsers: Due to the way this script monitors for dynamic changes in Google's Instant Prediction results, it is unlikely to work on other Greasemonkey-like extensions.

Disclaimer: Google search is a very complex application, so there is no guarantee that this script will work for you. The author is not responsible for you missing a result you might have liked to see, or other malfunction of the script. Use at your own risk.
