Google recently released an extension that would allow for users to specify ‘spam’ search results. Kynetx wants to take that a step further with an application that will do the same thing in Firefox and Internet Explorer as well as Chrome. The application had to be built in 24 hours. I always like a good challenge and learning something new, so I took a stab at it.

I wanted to keep the minimalistic idea that Google had with their extension, but make it more visible and useable. When you hover over a search result an option to remove the result is presented.
