Best Extension to Block Low Quality Websites from Google
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
To keep particular low-quality sites out of your results, use an extension built for it, such as uBlacklist, a free, open-source extension that lets you block a site from the results page so it stays hidden in later searches. For a single search, adding -site:example.com to your query does the same. Search Cleaner doesn't block individual sites; it hides sections of Google's results page, such as the AI Overview, ads, shopping boxes and "People also ask", and it pairs well with uBlacklist.
