does absolutely nothing

on a mac using chrome, downloaded ext and tried blocking foxnews.com, lead story is still from foxnews.com. I normally read news under incognito, but incognito mode access is turned on, and also tried it in the regular browser. And I disabled all other extensions to make sure none was interfering with it, and even restarted chrome, still get foxnews.

doesn't work

Sorry, but your app doesn't block any of the websites I enter. In your defense, neither does the google news preferences.

Google News Issue

As I recall, your app stopped working on my computers when Google changed its News website format. I checked my Extensions and SANS is "on" and I have plenty of words in my block list so I don't know what the problem might be. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

New sort feature

I am not sure if you can do what Google seems completely incapable of doing but....

Can you sort the page so the most recent items are at the top?

Also, all of the other "Remove Top Stories" category extensions broke with the latest update. Can you do that too?

Do you have a Paypal or Patreon page?

Add support for Google News country variants

I notice this extension only works on "news.google.com", it doesn't work on the local variants such as "news.google.ie". I assume this issue is the same across all variants (.co.uk, .fr, .de, etc). Can you add support for the other ccTLD's please

Not blocking

I'm trying to block some sites, but can't with the web addy or keywords. WashingtonPost.com is one of them. I can't rate this highly until it works as advertised.
