I miss the days when this was a feature built into Google. It could do all the removal server side.

I love uBlacklist. However, when I started to "block" scam sites I became acutely aware of just how many there are. It is like playing endless whack a mole.

I recently have had the need download some Windows software and all the top links from Google are scam sites. By that I mean they pretend to look like the legitimate / real site and they can be damn good at it.

No wonder my dad for one has downloaded stuff from those kinda sites.

I started blocking them, but there seemed to be an endless supply.

I am hoping users can work together to create smart blacklists, and there are already some subscription feeds for it.

I do worry about performance as the lists grows.
