I'll take this chance to plug Kagi Search (a paid search engine), that I recently switched to, and have been loving. It's nice to actually be able to say "Hey, this site is trash, don't show it/de-rank it for me."

Not only this, but I've been using Kagi's Redirect feature to redirect fandom results if I see some. For instance for Path of Exile, simply:

^https://pathofexile.fandom.com|https://poewiki.net

Alternatively the Redirector extension can also achieve similar results, without having Kagi, and converting all links, not just search results [1].

That doesn’t solve the problem that most people will find Fandom first when searching for it.

That's fair, but it'll keep individuals from ending up clicking to so many junk sites. And the more people using search engines that allow them to fight back against enshittification, the better.
