From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This will change your life: https://ublacklist.github.io/docs
was about to add this. kinda sad that I had to give up my searxng instance because I can't get ublacklist to work on it (works on some public instances)
I use this userscript (works on Ddg, Bing, ... too) since i can't have a addon for every little thing. It can export/import the lists too.
Neat... Is there an alternative for people who don't use google? 😅
It works on each of these:

Searxng and ddg? Nice! 🤩🤩
Thanks a bunch! ❤️
It blocks on all the major engines. DDG included.
OH man, thank you for that!
I have heard before that you can just add it to uBlock Origin, yeah.
Hey so just because I went on a spree, here's a bunch of lists you can choose from to import into uBlock since that's super simple already, and this other addon requires you to add them anyway so:

How did I not know about this? Thanks!
Awesome. How have I never used this before
Nature is healing.
Thank you very much, do you have recommendations on lists to subscribe to?
Nothing in particular. They all seem about the same to me. Check top rankings on GitHub perhaps.
