Good News Extension

It blocks unwanted news stories from appearing in your Google news feed. Add keywords and key phrases as patterns to block. Then, any headlines or leads that contain those patterns will be hidden from view. To restore them, either remove the pattern or click the \"show\" link at the top of the news feed.
