I have a bad habit of clicking on links before checking the source. This plugin gives me peace of mind while shunning the fallen one. Hopefully in the near future, appending ‘lemmy’ to google searches will prove just as fruitful. Until then I guess I will just grit my teeth and bear it. I find it’s worth the hassle.
I’ve been using this for quite a long time. The main selling point is to filter out search results, and it does it fine; it doesn’t prevent access to the site by e.g. manually typing the URL. For the later, as another poster said, uBlock Origin works better.
(Funnily enough I installed it because of Reddit. When I want an answer I want an answer, not a bunch of parrots repeating the same stale jokes, the same “I dun unrurrstand”, vomiting trivia or crap like this.)
