    WTAF DuckDuckGo devs? I was so excited that you added the ability for me to block websites from appearing in my search results. I hoped to use this to block all the slopsites. It was working great until I tried to add another just now and got the message:

    Cannot Block Site—You can only block up to 5 sites. To block iere.org, you'll need to unblock another site first.

    Why? Why would you have a limit of 5 sites?? That makes this much desired feature basically useless.

      @Rowan Honestly, I think DDG is just riding the wave of anti-google sentiment and putting on a veneer of being better. This, and the anecdote I heard about them ignoring a user's "no AI" setting, are implying to me just how paper thin that veneer actually is.

        @Rowan

        Don't know about blocking specific sites but I use noai.duckduckgo.com for searching and it seems to do a pretty good job of blocking the slop
