Hey there are you going to update or port to firefox?

Hey I love good news, I never had to see the word "kardashian" ever again. Then google of course had to make yet another of their once great products unusable and good news is permanently broken. So I finally made the swtich over to firefox where I can still use extensions to block all YT ads. Might as well make that my permanent default for browsing. It would be awesome if you were able and willing to make a version of this for firefox, evidently you can still do things on firefox that google just nuked on chrome. In other words, I can still block ads on YT on firefox. But there is no good add on that will block "kardashian" from ever appearing in my google news feed.

If you can great, if not then I understand. At any rate, thank you for one of the top five best extensions in all of chrome.

I love this extension

Really love the extension, it's been a life saver and I've enjoyed it for years. Thank you!

I did want to report that I am noticing a glitch that it isn't working in some cases and it seems it's showing the photo and article if it is the top story.

Plus Google tried in 3 different ways to remove and uninstall it from my browser because it says it's no longer supported.

Is there a way to fix these issues? I definitely want to keep using it and I'd be happy to help if there's something I can do. Thank you!

Some Patters Work Just Fine, and Others Leave a Placemarker

To Whom It May Concern:

First, thank you so much for having made this extension. For years, I've lamented the fact that no matter how many times I inform Google News that I'm not interested in information about certain topics, they repeatedly, and daily, show me these topics. It can be really infuriating, especially coming from a company of Google's stature w/ their algorithmic capabilities.

I only just found out about your extension this morning, and when I installed it, I added some patterns, and all of them seemed to work just fine w/ the exception of one pattern that I added. There was a story about Kim Kardashian in my feed, so I added "Kardashian" b/c, if I never hear about anyone in that family again, it'll be too soon. The story was removed, however, the image of Kim Kardashian remained. I took a screenshot which you can see here: https://ibb.co/s5W3MbC.

I can't interact w/ the empty box, but I can interact w/ her image. However, I didn't select it, b/c I certainly don't need any more Kardashian content than I already receive. Hell, I'm loathe to include their name in this message, b/c I'm certain that Google will take it as a sign, when they run it through their Kardashian filter. "Hey, we just got someone else that mentioned the word "Kardashian" multiple times in a message! Quick, reconfigure the algorithm to ensure that they see the maximum amount of Kardashian content available on the visible Internet! And do it quickly, b/c we don't need an incident like last week, when Kris Jenner came down here and beat all of us mercilessly for not working hard enough." But, I digress...lol

Anyhow, I also tried adding refreshing the page, changing the pattern to "Kim Kardashian," removing the pattern, and adding the pattern back as "Kim Kardashian." No matter what I did, the behavior persisted.

Some specs that might assist in resolving this issue:

System: Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 3
OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (OS Build 19042.985)
Browser: Chrome v91.0.4472.77 (Official Build) (64-bit)

If you require any additional information from me to help you investigate this, please let me know, and I'd be happy to provide it. Once again, thank you for this extension!

All UK Sites blocked if you block "Brexit"

So I'm completely sick of Brexit. I never wanted it in the first place. I wanted to block anything to do with it on my Google News feed.

Unfortunately, if you use this extension to block the word "Brexit" then all UK sites are blocked. The reason being that all of them have some mention of Brexit somewhere on their page (usually a link to another article)

A useful feature would be a checkbox to limit the search to the headline only rather than scanning the entire underlying page.

Entire card hidden instead of individual articles

I'm trying out this extension now, and am finding that it is removing the entire card when there's a match on any headline therein. Surely this is not intended.

Now only Top Stories display successfully.

As of Dec. 21, 2019, my Google News can only display items in "Top Stories". The sub-catagories display briefly and then vanish. To view a sub-catagory, I have to use your "Show" link.
