Sink It for Google is a super minimal Safari extension that declutters and cleans up your search results. Tired of seeing tons of nonsense spam websites on your Google searches? Sink It for Google silently, and safely, removes all of them. PRIVACY FIRST --------------- Sink It for Google has been built with a privacy first approach. - All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined. - Sink It for Google doesn't keep historic usage data like the count of how many sites it has blocked. - It doesn't even come with basic app analytics or telemetry to keep track of how many times you've opened or use the app. - It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video. (I hate opening a bright video on dark mode as much as you.) EASY AS 1-2-3 --------------- Ban sites with just a tap of the hammer icon. Monitor what sites are being banned on any page and unban with another tap. Easy peasy! DECLUTTER YOUR SEARCH RESULTS ---------------------------------- Currently, it de-clutters and removes spam websites from regular Google search. Search Ban will support image search on Google as well as other search sites like DuckDuckGo and Bing in the next few updates.
