I would love to give uBlacklist 5 stars but unfortunately the thing can't seem to decide when it will and will not work on startpage, my main search engine. When we open up a new tabfor the first time, it works as intended. If I search from within that particular tab (that is, if I have searched "chicken recipe" then decide to edit that search to "chicken soup recipe") it no longer works. Even if I go to the browser bar rather than the search engine bar.
This renders the thing pretty much useless to me. I do not find this particularly surprising, because 99% of everything involving the internet is garbage, but I do find it frustrating. So very, very Frustrating.
FURTHER EDIT: it appears that ublacklist, in addition to the above problem, only works for the specific url that they keep on their end. this means that using the startpage settings url (the one you can use instead of using a cookie to save user settings) does not register on ublacklist's end. As we all know, any measure the user takes to protect their online privacy must be met with resistance to dissuade them from continuing to deviate from the norm. - Rated 1 out of 5by Natustell, 9 days agoThis behaves as if "Add rules blocking whole sites by default" is always on regardless of value. It's not possible to block specific pages, only entire sites.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Сырное, 2 months agoThis extension doesn't block network requests - it hides stuff in the search engine. The patterns don't work (yeah, they're set up right) - I always have to hide things in the search engine using the extension button. Wouldn't it be easier to just block it through a proxy?

- Rated 1 out of 5by Kyoko, 3 months agoIt was great at first, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore. I blocked Amazon, but I'm still seeing Amazon products in search results.
- Rated 1 out of 5by wasabimon, 10 months agoPagination is broken in google images, new results won't load when you scroll down.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Plus_Escapee, 10 months agoUsing Firefox, it doesn't show up in extensions list from the puzzle piece menu, can't be pinned from extensions manager, has instructions to pin and use but isn't in the list. Crappy, incomplete plugin with no redundancies.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kep, 2 years agoStopped working on google image results, which was the entire reason I installed it. Still works on google text results.
- Rated 1 out of 5by just, 2 years agoDon't work with anything other than Google. In other words, it is useless.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17753642, 2 years agoGot the extension to hide Aliexpress from search results.
Added Aliexpress as well as Alibaba to the blacklist and...
NOTHING.
Extension would allow the searches and when clicked on the link it would let me go to the site.
When clicking on the extension in the toolbar it would ironically show "Unblock this site"
It was NEVER blocked!
Useless extension that does not work! - Rated 1 out of 5by QuantumDrone, 3 years agoWith the new (in beta) google search 'option dots' at the right hand side of each result, this no longer works, sadly. There's no way to opt-out of the beta features (it seems to be a soft roll-out on google's end.)
It's my hope that this addon will be updated soon, as I love the features it provides. If there's any more info I can give, let me know. - Rated 1 out of 5by Minionblacke, 3 years agoGoogle's updated their search engine scripts or codes, i believe. As seen through July 2023, the ublacklist dialog has gone missing under the url where it has been always. What was blocked still appears in results despite. Browser wasn't updated, so that's not the cause. There is no way to block them at the moment. Please fix this soon.
