I am confused

Are we saying that a human being cannot make a choice as to whether they want open a webpage they dont want to open.

I personally do not visit sites I do want to visit. There is no possibility that I might accidentally visit a site I do not want to visit.

I do add websites to U-block origin to block sites from search engines, I dont want to scroll through a hundred of pages of USA amazon, ebay, google, instagram, facebook, etc, links, when I am looking for a new pair of socks in my local store in the UK.

here I block startpage from showing amazon links in the search.

startpage.##.g:has(a[href="amazon.com"])

startpage.##a[href="amazon.com"]:upward(1)

This also works with google and other search engines.

If I want to block an entire web site, just add:

||www.amazon.com^

||www.google.com^

these site wont load at all, they will be blocked by U-block, even if you accidentally click on a link
