Best Search Cleaner Tool for Fact Checkers
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
No extension comes with a reliable, up-to-date list of disinformation sites, and Patrick Bushe's Search Cleaner doesn't block sites at all. What it does help with is speed: it hides Google's AI Overview, ads and widget boxes so the links are easier to scan. To keep your own list of sites you never want in results, uBlacklist lets you block them as you find them. Treat any block list as a convenience, not a substitute for checking sources.
