Please update. Whenever I open a topic I have to refresh. Also Google news has changed design. Now it shows small cards of "full coverage" under the main story, and when the extension finds a blocked word, it hides the entire coverage, not only that story. Let's say the story is about a far right candidate and an article contains "Trump like candidate", so this extension shows the entire coverage on Google news just because of one article's wording. I understand the extension should technically hide that source, but not other sources that don't contain Trump. Thanks. |

Do not bother. There is no place to add the things you want blocked. They must have removed it. Not sure how this could work without that. |

Thanks for providing such an essential service! I don't need to hear about all the murders and killings in the world every day! |

A way to easily block sportsball and COVID-19 stories in Google News. Official propaganda topics can't be blocked in the Google News user interface. Good News is a very excellent extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. |

Thank You!!! I can now block entertainment and sports. The only addition I would make is an ability to block more general terms. For instance give it the term "baseball" and it automatically blocks all sites with anything baseball related. For now blocking individual websites is actually a bit entertaining, imagine the smile I got when I added "Burnt Orange Nation" to the list. That glee will wear off and it'll get tiresome to block each one, of which there seems to be an infinite number. Thanks for the effort and the work you put into this, it's certainly appreciated. |

It does remove selected stories with blocked words, however, Google news only gave a few stories per category on the front page and these removed stories do no get replaced. so essentially you end up with a blank page if you block Covid, Brexit & Trump. |

This extension is way too aggressive; it hides the entire card (group of headlines for a topic) when it matches a keyword in the card. Even the example images show entire sections have disappeared, like the whole Fact Check panel. |

I'm so glad I found this, I really didn't want to see Entertainment stories in my news feed. Thank you again |

I would argue this is the single most important plug in available for Google News. I was getting spammed with Kardashian and Bieber BS so much I subsdcribed to the Epoch Times to get away from it all. With this plug in I can at least weed out some BS. I hate that Google took away the ability to remove unwanted news sources or articles. I do not need to see Sports or Entertainment- I do not get off watching men in tights hug each other for a ball and I care less than 0% what Hollywood celebs have to say. In fact I pretty much go against Hollywood by default. So until Google allows humans control their news feeds this plug will have to Suffice. |

finally something that really works to clear out unwanted news topics. in fact, you can watch the articles disappear in front of your eyes as you input that specific key word. not having any interest in SPORTS, I entered sports as a key word and they whole SPORTS category under Google News is gone! Extension still allows you too see what articles have been hidden if you want - it's tempting! |
