Summary

What's this about? You know all those weird autogenerated spammy sites that always pop up in search results, with such amazing titles as "FREE prize sex hot stud bangs busty Finnish Healthcare Clinics for sale"? SESB aims to purge as many of them as possibile from search engines results pages.

How does it work? SESB uses two blocklists, one being a built-in, ever-expanding blocklist containing hundreds of thousands of junk sites (which you can find here), the other being your personal blocklist, to which you can freely add and remove sites you don't wanna see, importing them from a text file, typing them out by hand or simply pressing a dedicated button atop of undesired results.

Why is this different from other similar extensions? SESB is designed to be istantaneous and highly scalable, in order to be able to support extremely large blocklists with little effort.

Anything else? You can also:

  • See the blocked results (indicated with a light red background) instead of hiding them.
  • Export your blocklist as a text file.
  • Whitelist domains from the built-in blocklist. SESB currently supports results pages on Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo! Search, Startpage and Yandex.
