@greentfrapp, why you need JS for that?

I love that in Kagi.com this can be done quickly with lenses (filters). Without JS.

How? Really. I've tried and didn't find this, checked to 5th page.

Yeah, and that's why Kagi.com is bigger and bigger.

Interestingly, there used to be an option to block domains: https://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/02/block-domains-from...

I currently recommend Kagi.com, it can block but also pin selected domains at the top of the results list.

> Average users may not pay, but specialized users may pay and pay more than enough to subsidize some sort of free tier.

If I can, I'm happy to pay, so others doesn't need to. I don't understand why I'm in minority and most of the people thinking only about themselves.

I'm happy to pay because for many years I also had to use free services, paid by others (or ads, but ads I'm blocking however I can).

Yes, I noticed this too.

I'm afraid what happens to 1Password since they get big funding recently.

> Isn't this the way the internet is supposed to work? If I link to a page and the page is removed, it'll not show, right? Same thing if I were to add that page as an iframe on my site.

But the link still will be on your site.

Most "experts" I meet know... nothing. They don't know basics of their jobs, they don't think how their design / code will have effect for people other then... them.

I miss old Opera.
