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.

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.

Fail. Doesn't even have a working UI. Come back when you get something that's actually useful.

I can't get it to do anything. All I want to do is hide "Sports" from the Google News feeds. There is no interface and no useful documentation. A waste of my time. Why can't Google just allow customization?

Worthless. Does nothing. You'll never get that 5 minutes of your life back.

I installed, but when I click on Options (for fixer) I'm asked how many stories I want, but am not shown check boxes for news categories (as is shown in the screenshot on web store), so I have no way to remove news categories. Any insights?

Doesn't work as advertised. Only option is number of articles per subject. Seemed promising but... bleh
