Good work, makes reading a news website a lot less painful. I know Covid exists, don't need to know about it every minute. Would have given 5 stars if it was being updated to support mentions of variant names too, for example "Delta variant" and "Omicron"

WOW I never leave review on extension but this one changed my life. No more fake virus news! I can now live in peace!.. A huge Thank you to the creator of this extension!

It was funny testing on the dumpster fire that is MSN; slowly watching the whole site eventually turn into, "CENSORED" as their elements keeps changing. I couldn't figure out how to do this in ublock for all sites, but your extension kinda did. Good job.
