I think there's a simple google way. Just add `-bigwebsite.com` to your query.

[search term] -google -youtube -facebook ... -top100website and it should work.

I found a list of the top 1m alexa websites here:

An add-on with that list should do the work.

That's pretty clunky.

- there's probably a pretty low limit for size of Google queries, you'll likely hit it quickly

- you won't be able to search for e.g a story about YouTube censoring some content

I don't know about the current query size limit but I think it's pretty likely to get hit quickly as you correctly pointed out. But, it's useful to use the wildcard "-site" ex: "-site:bigwebsite.com" for excluding just the site, and not the very word being mentioned.

ex:

facebook censorship -site:facebook.com

https://www.google.com/search?q=facebook+censorship+-site%3A...

Filtered out regional sites that Google wouldn't cater my search for (eg Taobao, Baidu, etc).. Only possible with 31 negative sites.

-site:google.com -site:youtube.com -site:facebook.com -site:jd.com -site:yahoo.com -site:wikipedia.org -site:amazon.com -site:netflix.com -site:reddit.com -site:live.com -site:zoom.us -site:okezone.com -site:alipay.com -site:instagram.com -site:twitch.tv -site:csdn.net -site:blogspot.com -site:microsoft.com -site:bing.com -site:github.com -site:tribunnews.com -site:myshopify.com -site:office.com -site:panda.tv -site:stackoverflow.com -site:ebay.com -site:bongacams.com -site:livejasmin.com -site:babytree.com -site:naver.com -site:apple.com <search query>

your query would obviously be too long for Google

yeah, that's sad. Google limits its queries to just 32 words.
