The shitty/distracting web run on ads, so why not making a search engine which index based on that? You would have an experience similar to what was the internet originally: no corporate shit, no infinite scroll, just independent websites made to share real informations and real knowledge, and would still leave space for subscriptions or donations! And you could still use JS and avoid just using a text browser, making the occasional order from a website or navigating the fediverse!
Not an ADblock, the issue isn’t ads, the issue is how the web is TAILORED towards ads, and how that makes shitty web.
Is there any tool which does that? The goal would be blocking/avoid indexing all websites connected somehow to ads, is this even something possible? I know it would block 90% of the web, but if that 10% is freedom, I want that freedom!
https://blog.kagi.com/small-web is the closest I’ve seen but it is indeed quite small and often not useful.
Kagi is generally a tool that can be made to clean your search results of poorly incentivised content. It already categorises “top 10” click farms as such OOTB and lets you disable them entirely.
The ability to block websites from appearing in your results is the most useful though IME. If I stumble upon a poorly incentivised website, I can simply block it and it will never appear again.
It’s not all you’re asking for but it gets you the closest that I know of.
