It actually works and is the best thing ever invented. Sad it won't work on OperaGX. Or on any other search engine than Google. But it can filter terrible AI spam sites from any search and future search. I really, really hope it keeps working and will become better and hopefully more widespread so pêople start adressing the death of internet.
