Is it possibly to permanently blacklist websites on DuckDuckGo?

Title. There's just some websites I want to permanently blacklist for my DuckDuckGo searches, and don't want to type in a boolean function every time I search something.

Not that Ive ever heard of.

But Kagi makes it easy. It's called Personalized Search. It's so nice

Edit: Apparently DDG got rid of that feature.

It's my favorite feature of Kagi. You can rank them too, so if you still want results from a site but don't want it at the top, you can send it to the bottom, or pin important sites to the top.

I love Kagi! Blacklisting domains was an instant purchase for me. Yes you twiddle around with just hiding results in a browser through a plugin, but that is just obfuscating it for yourself.

And it's also client-side. Kagi filters them server-side AFAICT, so from your POV it's instant and without client-side filtering jank.

Love Kagi as well, but haven't used this feature yet. What sites do you block?

I believe the ublacklist extension can do it if you use firefox or one of its forks.

Great idea. I will never buy from amazon so filtering that out automatically would be fantastic when looking for products

I achieve this on my own SearxNG configured with the hostnames plugin.

Say goodbye to LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.

This sounds interesting. Can you change hostnames as well, like say www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com?

Yep!

I really need to do this.

You could write a userscript to maintain a blacklist with eg greasemonkey

I use this, and there exist big lists of sites to block on github.

Make a bookmarklet to do it for you?

there are plugins that allow you to write your own CSS for a website. if you know enough CSS , and depending on the structure of the search results, you can probably make a style rule to hide things based on the domain
