“Why Do So Many Music Venues Use Ticketmaster?” “What’s It Like to Train to Be a Sushi Chef?” “How Do Martial Artists Break Concrete Blocks?” If you were looking for answers to such questions 10 years ago, your best resource for finding a thorough, expert-informed response likely would have been one of the most interesting and longest-lasting corners of the internet: Quora.

I’d love a plug-in to block all Quora results.

If you are using Firefox, check out https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hohser/ You can block certain domains from your search results, works great for me

It's sad that so many plugins like this exist.

Remember ExpertsExchange? They charged people for the correct answer but was in the top 10 results. They got blocked very quickly when Google, yes Google, allowed you to block any site from your search. That feature is now gone and you have to specify that in your search terms.

+1 for Kagi, am loving it.

I’ll check it out but have never heard of it.

Brave search has a "No Quora" filter
