How To Block A Website From Appearing In Your Google Search
This article teaches how you can block a domain or a website from appearing in your Google search results by using a built-in option in Google.
I’ve read articles which teaches you how you can block or prevent a website from appearing in your search results in Google search by using either Greasemonkey scripts or Google Chrome extensions.
Well we don’t need either of these two installations. We can achieve this in a very smart way.
So how to do this? You need to keep signed in your Google account in order to block websites. Go to google.com and search for what you want. You got the search results and you saw that domain which you don’t want to see again in your search results.
Click on that domain and your web browser will open it in the same tab. Now as the website loads, immediately click the Back button of your web browser (Backspace is the hot key for going backward in most of the cases). Now you will be able to see “Block all <domain name> results”
In this way you can block (remove) a website from appearing in your Google search results. You can block maximum of 500 sites and these blocked sites can be managed by clicking the gear button on the top-right corner of the search page, then click on Search Settings and then scroll down to see manage blocked sites.
Conclusion:
In this way you can block (remove) websites from appearing in your search results without installing anything in your web browser.

Automatically Open Certain Websites In Incognito Mode In Chrome
This article explains how to make Chrome top open certain (specific) websites in incognito mode automatically by installing an extension.
Google Chrome incognito mode is used when you don’t want Google Chrome to save cookies, caches, history, passwords etc. This mode is quite useful when you have to do something secret and you don’t want to leave a mark on your computer.
For example when you are going to make an online purchase or when you are going to access your confidential account then you can use this mode for safety.
The extension that can serve the purpose is Ghost Incognito. Just install it from here and open the website which you want to open in incognito each time (automatically).
Once the website is loaded click on the ghost in the extension bar (right after the address bar). This will close the tab and open the website in incognito.
Now that site is stored by incognito and whenever you will try to open that website in normal mode Ghost Incognito will automatically open it in incognito mode. Sound interesting?
When you have to remove a specific site from Ghost Incognito then you have to allow Ghost Incognito to run in incognito mode. After that open that site and click the Ghost icon. This will remove the site from Ghost Incognito and from afterwards the site will load in normal mode.
