I love the initiative, but I agree with parent that some prior art should be acknowledged.

My extension has existed since 2012: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-filter/eidh...

In June 2020, I added support for external (collaborative) filter lists which are incredibly similar to Goggles.

Not saying anything was copied, just that it might be nice to cite/reference prior work.

Do you offer public access to those lists or are they only available to users of the plugin?

This sounds like an opportunity to create white and blacklists in cooperation among various projects.

Filter lists can be hosted anywhere and imported with the @ syntax:

# Make these domains stand out in results +en.wikipedia.org +stackoverflow.com +github.com +api.rubyonrails.org # SPAM - never show these results experts-exchange.com # Pull filters from external source @https://clobapi.herokuapp.com/default-filters.txt

This default list is the only one I distribute but users have come up with own lists.

It would be nice to have a Github repo with such lists (or meta lists: the @ syntax works recursively, allowing lists to import other lists).

Your suggestion of having a standard for the list syntax is interesting.
