SecondPage - Google Searches without media conglomerates Extension

This extension blocks most of the top 1000 English sites from appearing in google search.

Update: With the latest update I have cleaned multiple oversights from the list (gov, edu, actually useful sites). Thanks to everyone who suggested them.

I've open sourced the extension because my goal is not to make any money with this, it's to highlight the problem with google searches in 2024. Link down here.
