Features & Capabilities

Gossip Site Blocker is a powerful Chrome extension designed as an alternative to Personal Blocklist, helping you hide harmful and unwanted sites from your Google search results. It offers versatile blocking options including blocking by arbitrary URLs — such as specific Twitter accounts — and by keywords. Users can choose between soft blocking (hide) and hard blocking (erase), preventing blocked sites from appearing even briefly, including in card-style search results, news, and video sections.

While enhancing your browsing experience by filtering out undesirable content, note that the extension may slightly affect page layout due to its strict blocking approach. Simply resizing the browser window restores the original layout. With precise control and comprehensive blocking features, Gossip Site Blocker keeps your search environment clean and safer.

User Reviews

Users praise the extension for reliably removing low‑quality/gossip sites, regex support, and ease of use. Common complaints are intermittent failures that need a refresh, lack of DuckDuckGo/Bing/Google Images support, and several UI/UX issues (obtrusive block button, confusing labels, and poor entry editing). Overall highly valued but could improve stability, broader search‑engine support, and interface polish.

Pros

Effectively removes low-quality/gossip/spam/malware or copy‑paste sites from Google search results, improving readability
Powerful blocking features including support for regular expressions for advanced/custom rules
Easy for beginners to use (no complex filter subscriptions) while still offering advanced options
Widely appreciated and considered essential by many users for cleaner search results

Cons

Intermittent reliability—blocker sometimes fails on first search/load and often requires a page refresh (F5) to work
Limited search‑engine/feature coverage—users request DuckDuckGo, Bing and Google Images support
UI/UX problems: an obtrusive "Block this page" button, confusing or untranslated labels, cramped/truncated input fields and inability to edit entries directly
Occasional incorrect behavior reported (blocking pages not expected or showing the block button for already hard‑blocked pages)

Is Gossip Site Blocker Safe?

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.

Gossip Site Blocker requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Gossip Site Blocker is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
