Summary

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 :-)

This extension gave me way to block media pushing other people's personal matters ( for example, what do I care about Taylor/Kelce ). My screen My wish!

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 All these reviews saying it doesn't work must be outdated info cuz here in February 2022 it works!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

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.
