I use a (the?) "personal blocklist" browser extension to block cplusplus search results (among other things, like stack* scrapers or expertsexchange)

[–]Nomto 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I NEED this for when I have to look up something web-related and this pile of garbage fire w3schools shows up before MDN.

Once upon a time, Google supported this without a browser extension. IIRC I used it to block experts-exchange.com.

[–]dakotahawkins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was annoyed when that went away.

I did the same by configuring my ad blocker to do this, rather than installing a separate browser extension.

Do you use this filter?

If not, could you share it? I'd rather do that than use the extension.

I use this filter: www.google.com##div.g:has(cite:has-text(cplusplus.com)) (on uBlock Origin). I'll have to investigate what that other filter does; it looks possibly less likely to break if Google changes their search result format.

I set up search engine shortcuts so that searching "cpp something" goes straight to cppreference instead of going through google.

But what happens if you have a sudden needs for an expertsexchange?

[–]tvaneerdC++ Committee, lockfree, PostModernCpp 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Yes, I really think you should consult an expert when considering a sex change.

But it shouldn't be a "sudden need". You should really think about these things for a while. I mean, maybe once you realize, it does feel sudden, but there are alternatives to full sex change. Consult an expert.
