Review summary

Users praise uBlacklist for cleaning up search results by blocking unwanted sites across engines and managing blocks via lists. It performs well on desktop with features like inline blocking, blocked-results toggle, and import/subscription lists, and can remove noisy domains from image search. However, mobile reliability is repeatedly cited as a issue, UI controls can vanish or change, and privacy prompts or persistent notifications raise concerns. Engine-specific quirks (DuckDuckGo, Qwant) and update-related breakage are also noted. Overall, strong with caveats for mobile use and maintenance.

Pros

Reduces junk and noisy results, keeping search results clean
Works across multiple search engines (Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing) and platforms
Allows viewing blocked results via a toggle or inline option
Supports blocking lists and subscription lists for easy site-wide blocking
Effective at blocking unwanted domains in image search and shopping results

Cons

Unreliable on mobile (Google searches and Android) or may stop working on mobile
Blocking controls can be hidden or change with updates (buttons disappear, top-of-page toggle may be confusing)
Privacy/permission concerns (broad data-access prompts and persistent notification icon on many sites)
Some engines lack full support or breakage occurs (e.g., DuckDuckGo issues; Qwant support not available)

2026-06-21	Fi*****	Used to work on google and DDG (though not in mobile browser for DDG). Now it updated and both "block this site" and "show blocked results" are gone. Edit: apparently the last good version is 8.12.0. Everything after that is broken.

2026-06-18	Fi*****	almost works on duckduckgo image search, but it stops working on results that load in. The little Ø sign that appears on the corner of images does not do so on images that are loaded as you scroll down. it also stops blocking images from blacklisted sites. please fix this! i want to rid of ai slop forever! then i'll give you five stars :) edit: okay so i found out that if you do your search query whilst having the "all" tab selected, then go to the "images" tab, then it works properly. However if you make a search whilst in the "images" tab, then it breaks. What a strange bug...
