User reviews

Jan 2022. Doesn't work, but you can use the Good News extension and add "Sports" or "Entertainment" as the Pattern to eliminate. This works to eliminate those sections.
by Alton Danks, 2022-01-30

Opening the extension options displays a link: "First open Google News to get the topics" Clicking the link doesn't provide any topics to allow or block. Come on Google, I just want to get rid of Sports, I've wanted Sports gone for years and you works so hard to break extensions and prevent us from hiding it. Google must have a financial incentive to force the category on us.
