It has one job and it doesn't work at all

FINALLY! someone fixes the horrible tendency of google news to show irrelevant stuff!

Not working. I wanted to block celeb names, after i done it, i checked if its working, and it just hides basic news that has nothing to do with my tags

For example it bans the weather report, LOL!

I scrolled down like 3 sections and there was the same ****y celeb news i wanted to ban, with the same exact names that i put in the tag options.

Unfortunately, doesn't work anymore.

Tried signing out of google account several times, I still see things about Jenner, Kardashian, and Musk.

My biggest frustration is that for this to work you have to log out of your Google Account and log back in for it to update. I don't understand why it needs to do this to work.
When you do the log out and back in it works.

Lately, I must log out of Google for it to work. Once logged out it does a great job.

You have to go to Extensions and edit the preferences for this -- it does NOT show up in your browser. But it works! I was able to block all Sports news! YES! Sports suck!

Really wish this could block whole sections...

But anyway I found that if you use certain websites that cater to specific types of stories, it will catch more items unambiguously (ex: "sports" might block "e-Sports", but "espn" or "yahoo sports" would block the more traditional kinds). You can also block "more sports" for the section header.

Works fine on my computers, but it doesn't seems to work on Firefox Mobile, sadly.

I was able to rid myself of the entire sports section and Kardasians. Adding Trump to the list removed the national and global sections almost entirely! Works great.

Seems to be working just as promised. No more Kardashians!

It's been working fine for me and what a relief. My BP must be down 4 notches at least.

On my computer I need always to press "F5" before the filtering gets active. So I need to load the page twice. I also can't find the "show / hide hidden toppics" button anywhere. This addon is a very good idea, but needs some improvement/debugging.

Update 04-Aug-22: No more need to press "F5" (you fixed it well!), but Google decided not to show all topics instantly, but loads more topics when you scroll down. Those new loaded topics are not filtered. Too bad. Therefore I still get annoyed by sports, Kardashians, Trump etc...

Been looking for a working Google news filter for Firefox for a while now that's compatible with the new builds. Found this little gem and in moments there was No. More. Trump! in my news feed! OMG happy days!! Now I don't have constantly scroll past the top three "Trump did this", "Russia did that", "This guy here is in real trouble" posts. Mr. Rousso, you are a hero.
