User reviews
Great for studying purposes to filter out less credible sources and highlight those with constantly good information. Not to mention the filter for clickbait websites that buy the top spots for google results. Well done.

I was wary looking through the needed permissions for this extension so an independent review of how that data is used would be welcome but it does exactly what it says on the tin. I put in fandom.com and block in the settings and it blocked all fandom.com search results from showing up in DuckDuckGo just like it says it will.
