About Google Search Filter

This extension is mainly targeted at developers who run API or problem focused searches over and over again. There are usually a handful of sites whose results we prefer, and a handful of sites whose results are poor or worthless.

Google Search Filter allows you to specify (in developer-friendly fashion) sites whose results you would like see highlighted and sites whose results you never want to see.

In case you use multiple installations of Chrome, this extension allows you to sync your configuration across all installations.

Here is a sample configuration:

  # Make these domains stand out in results
  +en.wikipedia.org
  +stackoverflow.com 
  +github.com
  +api.rubyonrails.org
  # SPAM - never show these results
  experts-exchange.com

The extension will ask for permissions on all sites because the current Chrome extension manifest doesn't allow us to ask for permission only on google.* (so that the extension works internationally).

To avoid littering the GUI with buttons, the Google Search Filter button only appears when running searches on Google.

As developers, we at Intelco hope this extension helps fellow developers!

THIS EXTENSION IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH GOOGLE

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

FIXED: Google Search Filter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

FIXED: Google Search Filter may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
