| 2024-12-06 |  | | en | I've tried so many different ways to exclude football from my news feed. This is the only thing that has actually worked! Mahalo nui, Good News. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | en | Blocked "Trump" and now I don't see articles mentioning him. It did exactly what I needed it to. Hopefully an updated/newer version is made after Chrome tries to get rid of it. |

| 2023-09-13 |  | | en | When I added terms to it that I didn't want to see, it worked. However, I recently noticed that many of these terms were showing up. I didn't understand why, and I didn't check this extension to see what the problem was. Today, I saw a new item that I wasn't interested in, so I went to add it to this extension, and I noticed that ALL of my previous entries had been wiped clean. I don't know what happened, but probably two years or so worth of entries were simply gone. That's not acceptable. If that's a flaw in this extension, it means that this is an extension that doesn't belong in the Play Store. To sum up, when it was working, it was working just fine, but when I discovered that all my entries had vanished, that made this a really problematic extension. Edit: It happened a second time. I added terms back into the database, and w/in a few weeks, they'd disappeared. I'm uninstalling this addon, b/c I don't trust it not to harm my browser. |

| 2022-10-05 |  | | Not bad, but it doesn't seem to work for all words or phrases. For example, I downloaded this because for some reason Google thinks I am interested in a particular celebrity divorce. So I added the names of the celebrities, in several different configurations, and I am still getting those stupid articles. I wish it worked better. |
