The limit of blocked pages is incredibly low. I hit the limit within 2 hrs of researching.

Works great for Google. But. The docs say it'll work for other search engines, but I can't figure out how to make it happen.

Great for studying purposes to filter out less credible sources and highlight those with constantly good information. Not to mention the filter for clickbait websites that buy the top spots for google results. Well done.
