NotaInutilis / Super-SEO-Spam-Suppressor

Super SEO Spam Suppressor (SSSS[^SSSS]) An anticapitalist blocklist targeting websites abusing SEO tactics to spam web searches with data pollution and security risks: junk news, content farms, scams, impersonations, fads and bubbles (Web3 or genAI), and all other kinds of useless wasteful garbage. It is best used with uBlacklist. [^SSSS]: It's a Gridman reference. I'm spelling it out because it's also the name of a skin disease: don't go looking for SSSS on image search. > Our website is now optimized to supply content to Google, not build an audience of its own. > Mia Sato, "The Perfect Webpage", *The Verge*. Since 2019, Google's search functions are being destroyed: it is now scientifically proven that the biggest search engine on the internet has become a barely useable, terminally enshittified mess, merely a husk of the wonderful discovery tool it was yesterday. Do you want to learn about *thing*? How about **buying** *thing* and **consuming** *thing* instead? Its drive to commercialize our every online interaction also has consequences on other search engines whose indexers crawl through shit optimized for Google's terrible algorithm. Plus the latest trend of so-called "artificial intelligence" generative models produces even more garbage at an ever growing pace. This list is, as any good adblocking tool is, an attempt to escape this neverending capitalist coercition and attention theft. All of the tech giants play this game so consider also using a social media blocklist. This blocklist is left in the public domain (Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License). | Formats | Headers | Domains | TLDs | URLs | Pages | Expressions | Regular expressions | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | uBlacklist | YAML frontmatter | ✓ Match patterns | ✓ Match patterns | ✓ Match patterns | ✓ Match patterns | ✓ See documentation | ✓ See documentation | | AdBlock Plus | Special comments | ✓ Document option | ✓ Document option | ✓ Document option | ✓ Document option | | ✓ See documentation | | Hosts | Commented | ✓ | | | | | | | Dnsmasq | Commented | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | pdnsd | Commented | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | Unbound | Commented | ✓ | ✓ | | | | | | Mastodon | CSV | ✓ Fediverse only | | | | | | | Fediblockhole | CSV | ✓ Fediverse only | | | | | | | Domains | Commented | ✓ | | | | | | Browser extensions uBlacklist syntax Blocklist in uBlacklist format to use with uBlacklist.

You can paste the full URL: the update script will clean it and make it a domain. As the hosts format does not automatically block subdomains (e.g. ), they have to be explicitely added to the list to maintain compatibility. It is possible to add TLDs (e.g. , without the dot) to the list, they will be blocked by Dnsmasq, adblockers and uBlacklist. Domains related to Fediverse instances (Mastodon, Peertube, etc.) should be put in files with in their names (e.g. ) so that they are included in the Fediverse blocklists. Then, when you push your changes to the folder, GitHub actions automatically generate new versions of the blocklists. Should you want to generate them yourself, you can run the script (prerequisites : bash, python). Finally, make a pull request: it will be reviewed and approved within a few days. Importing an external list External lists can be imported by adding them to the as a new line in the following format: . They are automatically downloaded twice a day, cleaned (some formats only), copied to the folder and thus added to the list generation database.
