2023-11-11	Zen3211	It does not work for video search results. Can you make an addon that will work for video search results?
2023-11-10	Piecevcake	Didn't hide or transparent, but did highlight the 1st one, with part of the url specified. rule for *.com did nothing 2nd try at highlighting didn't highlight. Am I missing something?
2023-09-01	Firefox user 13524479	I moved away from "Seartch Filter" which sadly doesn't work to that. First test of "block or highlight" : I hide the domain "https://stability.ai/". I run a search to see what happens : it hid the domain, cool, but also tons of other pages such as this one: "https://www.instagram.com/stability.ai/" ... Why ??? Because... it has the words "Stability AI" in it ? This add-on proposes to hide a DOMAIN NAME but instead it hides tons of (totally) unrelated domains. Absolutely useless as it is. Two stars because the different options for hidding / highlighting are definitely a great idea. Too bad it doesn't understand... what is a domain name 눈_눈

2023-07-09	Firefox user 14516243	I've been using this for several years with Google Search, and it was initially very effective in blocking unwanted results. For some time now, it has failed to block "sponsored" results, which may be a drawback it can't overcome--and so I've become accustomed to ignoring the top handful. Today I discovered a new wrinkle. Sadly, some sites have evidently strong-armed Google into ignoring my wish never to be reminded of them, specifically Amazon and Goodreads, an Amazon subsidiary. This add-on has therefore become much less useful to me. I would be happy to support it financially if it were more robust.
