I wanted an extension that would block specific sites from coming up in any google search. Specifically, reddit.com. Reddit is pretty useless, and yet it seems to come up in all my searches. I want to permanently block it from ever coming up in search results. BS doesn't really deserve a 1-star other than it didn't do what I wanted. Actually, I'm not real sure what BS does do. I tried to use it, but to no avail. Maybe it does deserve a 1.

Could you please add an exception list function? I need to block my mother searching for "facebook login", to avoid malicious fake facebook findings. So everything is allowed to search for, except. Thanks!
