User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for effectively blocking unwanted and spammy websites from Google search results, making searches more relevant and less cluttered. It is praised for its simplicity and ability to export block lists. However, many report that the extension has not been updated in years, causing functionality issues and incompatibility with newer Firefox versions. Limitations include accidental clicks on block links, inability to block image search results, and a fixed maximum number of blocked domains without developer support.
