Description from extension meta

Protect yourself from Covid-19 hysteria in mass media.

Image from store Covid-19 News Blocker
Description from store The extension is trying to detect articles and posts related to COVID-19 and hide them. We do think that people all over the world are over stressed. And mass media hysteria adds even more stress to our life. We don't think that coronavirus is not a problem today. We just want to protect emotional people from unnecessary level of stress.

  • (2021-12-13) Callum Parkinson: 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"
  • (2021-10-25) Glen Raymond: 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!
  • (2021-08-15) Jay Dude: 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.
  • (2021-07-31) Kyle: not seeing any covid/vaccine related news on Reddit now - thanks! Was incredibly annoying - seeing new "tom from arkansas didn't get the vaccine and now he's dead and looks pretty darn silly" articles everyday.
  • (2021-02-19) Max Gamba: It isn't working as promised. To my experience, appr. 30% only from all COVID/Corona related news are hided, de-installed.
  • (2020-12-23) B Davis: This an incredible extension, which had really helped improve my wellbeing. I've found it to be impressively bug-free and accurate. I'm recommending this to my family and friends. Many thanks to the developers...

  • (2022-01-12, v:0.2.1) Aron Oberhamberger: german support
    Hi, is there any way how i can add words to the blacklist? I read most of my news in german so the keywords slightly deviate from the english version.
  • (2021-12-13, v:0.2.1) Callum Parkinson: Update for variants
    Add support for variant names such as "Delta variant", "Omicron". Similarly could be good to target the word "Vaccine" and "Vaccination". By far the best blocker extension out there, I love the way you're replacing the elements on page with a box with the dashed outline, looks great.
