I keep trying to find things like “making waffles from sour dough discard” and all the sites are the same: long meandering paragraphs full of links to other things on the site with dubious instructions.

Considering at this point I can pretty much identify the type of site by looking at it; are there good extensions or search engines which might remove them from search results?

So uBlacklist actually removes sites specified in your subscribed rulesets from your search results.

I found it helped out a lot on programming or tech support searches, as there's so many content mirrors and SEO spam sites for that domain.

I also found that using search shortcuts has helped me reduce the need for the middle-man in a surprising amount of my searches. (e.g., “@w” for Wikipedia, “@g” for the Gentoo Wiki, “@git” for GitHub, “@p” for ProtonD, “@y” for YouTube, “@s” for Stack Overflow, et cetera)
