YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Kagi shows the top domains that Kagi users block from their search results.
https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard
The seven most-blocked domains, in descending order, are:
-
pinterest.com
-
pinterest.co.uk
-
pinterest.de
-
pinterest.ca
-
pinterest.fr
-
pinterest.com.au
-
pinterest.es
I think that that's a fairly-damning statement on Pinterest.
That and GettyImages, I hate getting those in my image search results on Google because you can never actually download the image you are looking for.
On a Kagi Images search, there's an option to "View Image", which will let you view the image directly, and then manipulate it, including saving it.
On desktop Firefox, you can save any image used by a webpage. Click on the lock icon by the URL. Click "Connection secure". Click "More information". Go to the "Media" tab. All images on the current webpage will be listed and saveable.
First thing that came to mind!
better yet: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
here are the blocklists i subscribe to:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/main/list_uBlacklist.txt
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/popcar2/BadWebsiteBlocklist/refs/heads/main/uBlacklist.txt
Using Kagi you can go into personalization settings and block any site. Or boost/lower its rankings or pin it so it's always on top if it has relevant results.
I love this feature
“Oh, you scraped the docs from the real host and added ads? Well, I’ll never see you again”
It's my favorite feature of Kagi. I've blocked so many AI sites.
I use ublacklist, works fine for me.
+1 for UBlacklist. Here’s the link if anyone’s interested: https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist
FOSS and supports Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Us this part of UBlockOrigin or shall I install it side by side?
It's a separate thing, open source and actively developed. You can either get it from github or directly for Firefox here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/ublacklist/, that way you'll get automatic updates as well.
I do that with searxng. Plus boosting or reducing importance of several websites. Also automatic redirections.
I’ve been looking for something like this to block Reddit links. Not just because it’s trash now but I’ve found it randomly blocks my IP address. Sometimes I can access and other times I can’t. It’s blocked us entirely at work and is so frustrating when I’m looking for help on something I’m troubleshooting. Would rather those just not appear to begin with.
Add -site:reddit.com to your search terms?
Doesn't work if you have a ton of domains that you don't want, but fine if it's just one.
I tried that and it doesn’t work the times I’ve tried.
It works on Google for me. Probably some search engines out there don't use that syntax, though.
I thought it was native. Click the three dots next to a result. I don't have an extensions for it.
This (e.g. on DuckDuckGo) only excludes the results for that one search, by adding the option "-site:example.com" to the query. When one conducts an entirely new search, the domain is included again. (Also, one will probably quickly reach a limit if one were to append a growing number of domain exclusion options to the search string.)
Id rather add it to my ad blocker or dns sink hole server
Which of these work on Firefox?
Tampermonkey uses them and works on Firefox. "Userscripts" is a term for little Javascripts that are run by Tampermonkey to modify webpages on specific domains.
