Title basically, i want to block some users (malicious ones like IGGGAMESCOM) from appearing in my 1337x search results but i dont really know how

You can probably block their user profile (https://1337x.to/user/username) but it doesnt filter out their results, just their profile when you click on it

    hey i figured it out!

    in ublock settings go to “my filters”

    there, for every username you add a new line with the following: 1337x.to##tr:has-text(USERNAME)

    this removes any tablerow (html tr element) that contains the string USERNAME, so for you it would look like this:

    again, if you want to block another user, add a new line and replace USERNAME with the actual username you want to block

    i dont know if this is great “coding” performance wise since it has to check quite some nodes but the site loads pretty quick for me

    have fun :)

    Is IGG that bad? Not that this counts as “evidence” to the contrary, since it was IGG saying it, but on some random comments section (also in 1337x) IGG was rather adamant that it’s all unfounded and their stuff is clean.

    again, to be clear, I’m not educated on the matter in either case, and I typically stick to FitGirl.

      Yes at one point they were bundling crypto miners within their releases, I’m not too sure if they still do however there’s a lot of trust and reputation within the Piracy community

      Also the fact they’ve done it once makes it very possible for them to do it again (though I’ve got no idea if they even stopped bundling malware and cryptominers)

      1337x demoted them at one point for their shady practices
