Block unwanted sites from your Google, DuckDuckGo, Startpage.com, Bing and Yahoo search results. v2.3.8 2026-02-08

Easily Hide Unwanted Domains in Google Results

Want to filter out some useless, spammy or offensive sites from Google, DuckDuckGo, Startpage.com, Bing and Yahoo search results? Just click "block" to reduce a site's hits to a one-line notation, or hide it completely. No typing required.

For a one-minute video overview, and a detailed description of the script, please see the following page: http://www.jeffersonscher.com/gm/google-hit-hider/

System Requirements

Google Chrome users: Install the Tampermonkey extension for Chrome BEFORE installing this userscript.

Firefox 57+ users: Install the Violentmonkey extension or the Tampermonkey extension for Firefox BEFORE installing this userscript. (The script is partially compatible with the new Greasemonkey but it's not quite there yet.)

Firefox 52 ESR/Waterfox Classic users: If you are using the legacy Greasemonkey extension (version 3.11), you need to manually edit version 2.1.5 or later. See: this recent thread.

Other Browsers: I have no idea...

Disclaimer: Google search is a very complex application, so there is no guarantee that this script will work for you. The author is not responsible for you missing a result you might have liked to see, or other malfunction of the script. Use at your own risk.

MIGRATION / CONVERSION

If you need to extract your block list from before Firefox 57 and move it to Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey, or to the newest Greasemonkey, please see: https://greasyfork.org/en/forum/discussion/31646/extract-block-list-from-greasemonkey-storage
