Can I get a plugin that adds -"reacts" to all my YT searches and content?

You don't need a plugin.

OP's website basically creates queries of the form https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=<search terms>

You can essentially do the same thing in Chrome and Firefox using a customized search.

Firefox

Go to YouTube and search for -reacts. This will generate a query like above (i.e. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=-reacts. Then create a bookmark for this link. Now, go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks and click on the bookmark you just created. You can also go to Manage Bookmarks and manually create a bookmark from scratch. Either way, do the following.

Go to the URL and change it to https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s-reacts.

Next, go to the Keyword field and add a shortcut. You can call it anything you want. For example you can enter yt.

To use the bookmark, just go the brower's address bar and type yt, then space and any search terms. The browser will replace the %s in the bookmark with your search terms, then go to the resulting URL.

Reference: Firefox: How to use keywords with bookmarks

Chrome

Go to Chrome's settings and click on Search Engine. Scroll to Site Search. Click on Add.

Enter any descriptive text in Search Engine (e.g. YouTube no reacts). In Shortcut, enter yt or whatever keyword you want. In URL, enter https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s-reacts.

The click Add to save it.

Use it in the same way as Firefox.

Can I get a plugin that excludes all stock photo websites when I'm searching for an image on Google?

I have been using Bing for images for a while now. While some results aren't as interesting as google's, it does feature way less stock images in its results and that does it for me most of the time.

Can't you? From my view I can. But perhaps that doesn't really work.

I haven't used google since a couple years. What's the functionality that you miss since the lawsuit(s)?

Also quotations don't always have to be for searchterms that consist of several words, it can also be used when youtube/google decides that it doesn't know your searchterm and assumes you made a typo, then autocorrects you without asking.
Like searching for csrs, it would probably be changed to cars or something, if you'd type "csrs" however it should indicate you don't want it to be changed, also works well on google search in conjunction with verbatim mode, for which there is also an extension to force that by default

I tried that but reddit changed the minus to a dot, but it's basically the search term you wanna exclude in "", and minus in front like -"unwanted"

This used to work always, however now it increasingly does not, it does still work for say excluding subscribed channels that are unrelated to the search by saying -"subscribed" or -subscribed, or you can say -"recommended"

Maybe there is a similar trick with intitle, not sure, just like ot used to work with google search, but they keep changing things, like it used to be +"searchword" +"includesecondword", but now it is "searchword" && "includesecondword"
