Filter out links

[kvngkc]

Wonderful work you guys have done with this extension.
I have just one suggestion
When using filter, it gives you a list of links you "filter"
it would also be great if one could filter out links they dont want in their search results

This is possible, it is just not very clear. The filter uses Regular Expressions, which is far beyond the comprehension of most people. I still use a regex tester to write expressions.

If you want to filter out all the links with the text github you would use this filter:

^((?!github).)*$

For example, if you go here, and extract all links (with duplicates removed) you will get 15 results:

https://link-extractor.cssnr.com/

However, 6 of the results contain github in the text. So if you use the above filter, you will only get the 9 results without github.

Note, most special characters have special meanings in regex and must be escaped with a \ to work as expected.

You can use a regex tester to help build an expression: https://regexr.com/

Make sure to enable the global, multiline, and case insensitive.

Sorry this is not easier. Let me know if you have more questions.
