I'm sad to learn this projet is shutting down. The maintainer (xvello) contributed a lot to my uBlock dev filter [0]. We tried to reduce the time lost on deceptive and low-quality content for search engine users. Generative ML and aggressive SEO technics hit hard.

Bye letsblockit and I wish you well @xvello.

I'm not OP, but here is my own uBlock filter with hundreds of GitHub/StackOverflow copycats: https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

For those on Google or DDG, here is my uBlock filter with hundreds of GitHub/StackOverflow copycats: https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

It blocks copycats and hide them from multiple search engines. You may also use the list with uBlacklist.

Thanks for your incredibly fast response and help. (Do you have a notification when your username is invoked in HN?) And of course, thanks for uBO!

In my case, the issue is that GitHub doesn't allow the apb|ubo protocol in links. However, no problem, I can use the method with "subscribe.adblockplus.org". Yet, subscribing from contextual menu is a great feature.

That's actually really cool, thanks! However, the link don't work from HN for me. For the link to work, users need to click from a trusted domain listed here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/bba4732c6b47134c3f54e...

As the author of the filter, I strongly agree with you. However, I believe it would be too tedious for most people to update the filter "by hand". I think I'm going to add this important security information in the README.

For developers, you can remove some spam websites from Google and other search engines, with these uBlock filters: https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

I don't know what to do with it. You can't find Github Wiki results on search engine because of Github's robots.txt. The project is thus quite legit. Source: https://github-wiki-see.page/

I just added a filters list for Github copycats in the Gist https://gist.github.com/quenhus/6bd2c47e5780f726f0c96c0a2ee7... . List of domains taken from https://github.com/arosh/ublacklist-github-translation

As others have said, it can also be done with a uBlock filter.

For example, here are my filters that block and remove terrible copycats/translations of StackOverflow https://gist.github.com/quenhus/6bd2c47e5780f726f0c96c0a2ee7... . I hate these copies that somehow manage to be better referenced than StackOverflow.
