Hi there,

would these filters work on https://startpage.com/ ?

They have the same results as Google, would be nice to add if possible :-)

https://github.com/Nebula-Mechanica/Anti-AutoTranslation-List/ is another project with exactly the same goal.

I don't actually know what copycat websites are and why they should be removed from search results.
Are these the websites that mirror github/SO content as their own and therefore catch users who would have otherwise reached github/SO directly?
I looked into the 'data' folder and yet somehow decided NOT to actually try to visit any of those sites, to see what they are ;)

Another category of copycat sites that I find maddening are Wikipedia clones. Wikipedia is freely licensed and even allows database dumps, so there are a ton of annoying mirrors out there. These sites can show up in search results for just about any topic. Here are a few:

*://www.wikiwand.com/*
*://wiki2.org/*
*://worddisk.com/wiki/*
*://thereaderwiki.com/*
*://www.absoluteastronomy.com/*
*://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/*
*://peoplepill.com/*
*://www.algebra.com/algebra/about/history/*.wikipedia

You can see that these are clones from the following links:

• https://www.wikiwand.com/
• https://wiki2.org/
• https://worddisk.com/wiki/search/
• https://thereaderwiki.com/en/
• http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/ (just click any link and scroll to the bottom to see the attribution)
• https://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/
• https://peoplepill.com/ (just click any link and scroll to the bottom to see the attribution)
• https://www.algebra.com/algebra/about/history/Main_Page.wikipedia

There are a lot more copycats out there (Wikipedia maintains a giant list, but it includes many sites that have just copied a small amount of content and not the entire site, and I'm sure there are some dead/outdated entries as well), but I figured I'd just post a few to start.

Hello @quenhus,

I am the maintainer of https://letsblock.it, a uBlock Origin list generator that allows users to pick and customize filter templates to filter out low-value content. The most requested feature so far is to extend the hide websites from search results template with presets to hide Github and Stackoverflow copycats. Instead of duplicating work, I'd love to reuse the data from your project and import it as user-selectable presets.

I am currently working on the implementation PR: letsblockit/letsblockit#64 and will deploy a staging version when the frontend is ready. I'd love to have your input on it, whether that's questions, ideas or concerns.

Hello.

Is it fine to add URLs from another list (with evidences)?

For example - will it be OK to submit a block request issue based on https://github.com/vladgba/Back2source/blob/master/back2source.user.js content (if I will provide evidence for each site in this list)?

I don't see any license requirements from the origin of this list, but how about you?

Thank you.

Filter lists using the Adblock syntax can have metadata in special comments in the header. This helps identify the name of the list, its origin, refresh frequency, etc. For example:

! Title: uBlock-Origin-dev-filter
! Version: 12345
! Expires: 1 day
! Description: Filters to block and remove copycat-websites from DuckDuckGo and Google. Specific to dev websites like StackOverflow or GitHub.
! Homepage: https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter

One side-effect of not having this, is the lack of title after importing the uBlock-Origin-dev-filter list:

Thanks!

Just posting this here as a feature request. I might eventually get the time to add this myself, but I figured it's good to post this here in case other users are looking for the support.

Effectively, we'd just need to expand the Google + DuckDuckGo support to include search.brave.com as well.

1. Thank for for the awesome filterlist. I didn't knew the situation is so bad until I started working with more javascript technology. I thought it's just a myth that the situation is getting out of control.
2. Do you plan to also include reddit copycats?

Doesn't seem like this site has fully copied SOF yet, as the domain is probably very new, this year.
Here's a funny, at the bottom of each page: "© 2022 All rights reserved"

For example, the DDG filter for *://www.scholarship.edu.vn/wiki/* is duckduckgo.com##[data-domain$="www.scholarship.edu.vn/wiki"]

However, the attribute data-domain, as its name implies, only contain the domain part of the URL. In this example it is www.scholarship.edu.vn

We have to rewrite the DDG filter to handle this case and generate a more precise uBO filter.
