TLTR: Try this Chrome extension<\/a> – it’s not guaranteed that it works for all websites or that it remain available in the future.<\/p>\n

The paywall is a tool to restrict access<\/strong> to users who have paid to subscribe to a website.<\/p>\n

In recent years it has been increasing among some news sources, despite the massive use of advertising and cookies that can already cover costs.<\/p>\n

Ok, quality news has a cost, but users can’t pay for them all. Google is working on that and waiting for an overall solution that allows choosing single articles rather than subscribing to the whole source. Will\u00a0editors agree? – let’s see how to remove some annoying paywall news sources from Google News<\/strong>\u00a0that are just wasting our time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Users are free to pay for good-quality information but should also be able to opt for free information. Free does not always mean bad quality. Not at all.<\/p>\n

Besides, many sources with paywalls are pretty biased<\/strong>, mostly posting political propaganda. Others are just bad quality<\/strong>, nothing original. Others are full of annoying ads<\/strong> and popups.<\/p>\n

All these can be sufficient reasons why some users want to hide specific sources (it doesn’t matter if they are free or paid).<\/p>\n

<\/center>You can bypass the problem by deleting cookies <\/strong>or better using a good VPN<\/a> and browsing incognito with browsers like Tor,\u00a0but if you’re tired of some specific sources, it’s time to hide them forever on your Google account.<\/p>\n

If you want to filter out some sources from your Google News feed<\/a>, the world’s most popular news aggregator, there’s a simple way, shown below:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hide (nascondi<\/em>, in the Italian screenshot) the specific source, and you won’t see it anymore. You can still see subdomains, though (for example, blogs associated with them). They have to be hidden separately.<\/p>\n

Some popular solutions available through browser extensions have been removed following copyright infringement cases.<\/p>\n
