I think we need blacklists. When I access a URL, the browser should check if it is present in the blacklist. If present, compare the reason of the blacklist (for example adblock avoidance system) and check the associated action specified by the user (for example, block the site or ask for a confirmation). Users would be able to choose the blacklist he prefers and to report missing sites.

I want them filtered out of Google search results. Sick of going to them by accident.

I would do that for Google Groups, the UI is so shitty I would like to ban it automatically from all search results.

Have you tried the Personal Blocklist extension? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist...

I think there needs to be white lists. Most websites are actively hostile to their users.

A white list would exclude most random personal sites that are the best part of the internet.

Right but we're not talking about defaulting to blocking the entire site, just the ability to do questionable things. If they need to do something questionable, then they should explain to the user what and why, and the user can decide if they trust this site.

Ah, right. I lost track of the context. A whitelist of "probably won't try to pwn you" would be nice.
