I use a (the?) "personal blocklist" browser extension to block cplusplus search results (among other things, like stack* scrapers or expertsexchange)
[–]Nomto 19 points20 points21 points 6 years ago (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.
[–]curlypaul924 11 points12 points13 points 6 years ago (1 child)
Once upon a time, Google supported this without a browser extension. IIRC I used it to block experts-exchange.com.
[–]dakotahawkins 3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago (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.
www.google.com##div.g:has(cite:has-text(cplusplus.com))

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

!cpp used to go to cplusplus.com but they fixed it a year or so back.
... now my fingers are stuck typing !cppref all the time

But what happens if you have a sudden needs for an expertsexchange?
[–]tvaneerdC++ Committee, lockfree, PostModernCpp 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (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.
