One can achieve the same thing for any website, not just their search results, with the browser extension 'uBlock'.

Yes, you have to write a pattern. It saves you money while not supporting the erosion of autonomy. What's better than free vegetables? Delivery.

I'm away from my computer right now but I'll copy one of mine later/reply with it. The edit window here is unfortunate.

Just missed the edit window! I'm here to deliver. Two kinds, either will be accepted in the "My Filters" section of the plugin. Edit as desired, the domain is just a recent example.

Eradication/filtering:

    ##a[href*="eng-leadership.com"]

Shown, but blocked on-access:

    ||eng-leadership.com^$document

To keep the hacker spirit alive, I leave the reader with an exercise. Consider other approaches or HTML tags. Anchors aren't their only vector, hence the document method.

HN has a 'hide' button that could be leveraged for nicer integration, removing related widgets.

Thank you for sharing, I'm sure people will find this useful. An extension is not very helpful for my needs though. I often use public computers at a local makerspace, and it is much easier for me to scan a QR code to sign in and then close the incognito browser when I'm done than it is for me to carry around my uBlock configuration.

Solving my problem the "hacker way" would essentially be reimplementing Kagi, or hosting a service to do it. I already host Open WebUI and that is really moving along; maybe it can replace my Kagi needs someday, but for now I am pretty happy with continuing to use Kagi.

Totally reasonable, thank you for explaining!

Again, my ultimate goal really is autonomy. There is still hacker spirit in your approach, fighting the status quo. It has my general support, even if I'm not a customer

I just wanted to remind people to look more nearby/within, too. This isn't a battle won once
