This surprises me because it's a major problem for me, particularly for GitHub. I end up doing this for clones that don't even link back to the orginal:

1. Search for something 2. See the cloned issue but no results for the original 3. Copy some unique-looking text from the clone 4. Search the repo directly for that text

It's awful. Seems to be a very recent problem? Maybe the last few months?




If I google "winforms change title bar color", I stackoverflow on top and on the first page:

https://newbedev.com/changing-the-color-of-the-title-bar-in-...

http://ostack.cn/?qa=707394/

But this blocks it:

uBlacklist [0] solves this. The filters in [1] let me block all those clone sites.
