The kagi search engine allows you block sites, they have a leader board of what the tops ones are here: https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard pintrest is getting a fucking.
Aww, alternativeto.net isn't that bad...
It is in my book. It's awful
It frequently compares things like apples vs oranges. And the comparison is just wrong. A real example is comparing a photo editing app vs a photo album app. Or something ridiculous like MySQL vs CSS.
If you take it for what it is, a listing of related apps, it's not that bad imo
But the name of the website is “Alternative To,” not “Related To.” For example, if I’m looking for an alternative to Photoshop, I don’t want to see recommended video editors or 3D modeling apps. That is wasting my time with auto-generated page filler.
With a little sifting it's helped me several times /shrug
Kagi users HATE pinterest.
Perfectly reasonable.
