This is awesome. I think it'd be useful to add filters for blocking sites that just copy SO and similar websites.

Agreed! I have lots of them in my list, using https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results as a template. I'm investigating adding presets to this filter (check a box to block the SO / github clones, they'll be added to the filter input alongside your blocked sites).

Reminds me of https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist

Hopefully you will add the startpage.com search engine (has same results as google) too :)

startpage.com (text results for now, I'll do image search later) support has been added to https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results ; enjoy!

Maybe you can fork it from the posted as the reply to the parent comment.

It exists, https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

Another one that got commented in other similar topics is this one, albeit not updated since last month:

It was the same as quenhus, but with Pinterest added.
