Block Google searches

[tcdaly]

Is there any way of blocking Google searches for a specific keyword? i.e. block the URL beginning https://www.google.com/search?q=foo, where foo is the search term to be blocked?

Your environment

• version of the extension 2.0.8
• which browser and its version Firefox v109.0

Hello,

Yes, simply add the url https://www.google.com/search?q=foo to the blacklist urls as so:

Furthermore, you can add an asterisk * at the end of the url to block any keyword starting with foo => https://www.google.com/search?q=foo*.

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. Google puts a lot of other text in the URL following the search term, so I tried adding a wildcard * to account for this, i.e.

https://www.google.com/search?q=foo*

But this doesn't help.

However, I tried adding the search term as a keyword under the 'keywords' tab, and that does work, i.e.

/foo/i
