User Reviews

Pros and cons emerge from mixed experiences. Users praise the add-on for its simplicity and for significantly reducing clutter by blocking numerous noisy sites in Google search results, with practical benefits like exporting/importing the block list. However, a large portion of reviews report the extension as broken or outdated and not reliably working in Firefox. Key drawbacks include a hard limit on blocked domains, inconsistent blocking across contexts (some sites or image searches slip through), a nuisance popup, and occasional incorrect blocks. Overall, it can help, but reliability and scalability are major concerns.

Pros

Easy to use and manage the block list.
Effectively removes noisy sites from Google search results (e.g., Reddit, TechRadar, Fextralife).
Supports exporting and importing the block list for backup or reuse.
Helps reduce search clutter by curating the domains you see in results.

Cons

Often broken or outdated and not reliably working in Firefox (no updates for years).
Incomplete blocking: some sites (e.g., Twitter) slip through and image-search results are not consistently blocked.
Has a hard cap on blocked domains (about 403) with no clear way to increase it.
Popup UI can appear at inopportune moments, leading to accidental unblocking.
Occasionally blocks the wrong domains (e.g., ft.com blocking microsoft.com).

Is Personal Blocklist (not by Google) 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.

Personal Blocklist (not by Google) 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.

Personal Blocklist (not by Google) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
