SANS - Stop Annoying News Extension

NEW VERSION v.37

***PLEASE*** If you find something that isn't working properly, please let me know before rating SANS poorly. Your feedback helps us make this product better! ***

That being said, I realize that many of you are here to purposefully sabotage this free offering with negative reviews and one star ratings. Which is sad as it took many hours of work to create SANS.

SANS works on GOOGLE and BING news ONLY.

I hope SANS helps you!!

If you like SANS please take a moment and give it a good rating :-)

***********************

Now.. a little about SANS from the developer:

If you're like me, you like your online news the way you like your coffee... the way YOU LIKE IT.

Stop Annoying News or \"SANS\" allows you to block online sources by domain (i.e. huffingtonpost.com or washingtonpost.com) or by topic keyword (i.e. \"Kardashian\" or \"Alec Baldwin\") from staying in your news feed.

SANS allows you to quickly add sites or keywords that you don't want to see. You have the option to 'fade' stories or remove them from view completely. It blocks the same content on both Google and Bing news portals.

If you have a question or feature request, please hit the SUPPORT tab and send me a message.

Damian Damianio (ID: 00000048dfb0cd9c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/07/2022 This is the best addon I have ever downloaded. Now I can blacklist the C nineteen word. All these reviews saying it doesn't work must be outdated info cuz here in February 2022 it works! however it doesn't like special characters which is unfortunate since this makes blocking ï (i with 2 dots) not possible

Mark Grant (ID: 0000006d8f925494) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/12/2021 This might have been useful once, but at least as of 3/12/2021 it removes the text of the story but leaves the rest of the browser object intact (image, etc) so it looks ugly. If this is by design, then it's bad design, but I'm assuming that it worked in a more useful fashion once but a change to google news broke it.

Allen Awesomeness (ID: 0000004dc2cfac23) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/25/2020 Doesn't do anything to bing, still shows the trending news section or whatever that's called.

Mickael (ID: 0000003ae347c8e8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/30/2018 Seems to be working great so far. It completely removes the topics you don't want to see which is what I wanted to do. You just need to enter keywords like "Trump" "Kavanaugh" or else and you won't see it anymore

Chris Ryan (ID: 0000000f2ed2900f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/08/2018 This is a great app that protects you from being inundated with depressing and disturbing news stories that is subconsciously harmful to your mental health.
