COVID Pause

nytimes.com

This extension removes content from websites that contain the following keywords:

  • "COVID"
  • "corona" or "virus",
  • "quarantine" or "lockdown"
  • "pandemic"

Additional words may be added at the top of content.js as appropriate.

Some special cases are handled on some of the most popular English-language websites to remove content at the card/article level, instead of removing the text alone.
