News Blockade Extension

- Politics (All)
- Democratic Politics
- Republican Politics
- Supreme Court
- Abortion
- Gun Violence

News Blockade defaults to \"no filtering.\" You can filter by opening the extension, opting to filter that website and choosing your stop words.
News Blockade will work on any website, including Google News, NY Times, Washington Post, etc. It even works on Facebook. And you can toggle the filtering on-and-off per website.
(It will also work while in Incognito mode, but you need to select that choice in the Extensions - Manage Extension option.)
