Blocking pintrest from image search results is also very helpful.

Absolutely crazy how such a low quality site comes up for technical queries. Speaks volumes for how smart Google algorithm is.

I wouldn't doubt many people click W3Schools results when they see them, they're not that bad, the explanation is straightforward, and it has exercises and a REPL for immediate practice. That reinforces their ranking as useful results.

Conversely, I have no idea why Pinterest plagues everything. Does it manage to trick many people into clicking for a login form?

W3Schools is the prime example that Google does use site authority for its ranking approach. A lot of their content is thin one-liners that don’t explain the subject you’re looking an answer for.

100% the bane of my trying to use Google for Mozilla docs.

ddg, then you have !mdn for mozilla docs

  !mdn Array sort

works like a charm, there's also !rust, !cpp, etc
