New Chrome extension blocks sites from Google results
zridling:
If they can't change their algorithms enough to detect this cancer, then a crowdsource effort is a good start. At the least, you won't see the same stuff over and over.
Renegade:
There is also something unpleasantly ironic about the idea that google is going to start telling people that the way to get the best results from their search engine is to use their google branded browser in order to get rid of the junk in the google search engine..

If this is the way they want to correct their mistakes then even this attempt can be gamed. Many black-hat users now can create a job on microworkers/elance/mechanical turk for small or big bonus and will ask to filter competitor websites. If the new algorithm is going to detect the pattern of users then sure we're back at square 1.

Blekko does this already.
Check out their video.
It only gets interesting towards the end, where he talks about the 'spam' and 'SEO' buttons.
