Covid-19 News Blocker: Protecting Users from Media Hysteria
Covid-19 News Blocker is a free Chrome extension developed by devunion. Designed to combat the overwhelming amount of COVID-19 news and articles, this add-on aims to protect users from unnecessary stress caused by media hysteria.
With the ongoing pandemic, it is understandable that people around the world are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. The constant influx of COVID-19 related news only adds to this stress. Covid-19 News Blocker steps in to detect articles and posts related to the virus and hides them from the user's view.
It is important to note that the intention of this extension is not to downplay the severity of the pandemic or ignore its impact. Instead, it aims to shield emotionally vulnerable individuals from an excessive level of stress caused by the media's sensationalism.
By selectively blocking COVID-19 related content, Covid-19 News Blocker offers users a respite from the constant barrage of news, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their lives without being overwhelmed by the pandemic coverage.
