I keep getting content that I do not want. 

Ie: I do not want anything from Newsweek, Washington Examiner, Fox News or other tabloid 'news' sites.

How do I block them?

I need to either block these bad sites or uninstall Edge.

    I've been going all over Microsoft Edge to block certain domains from my news feeds. 

    Customize only allows me to select what type of news.

    I would like an option added to Microsoft Edge to be able to DESELECT types of news.

    I do NOT want to see, hear, or read anything about Donald Trump, Proud Boys, Washington Examiner, Newsweek, Newsmax, Fox News, or ANY OTHER false news outlet !

    Please get the functionality working in BLOCKING SITES !!

    Hi NeuroPsyche,

    Good day! This is Jhakesong an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to assist you with this.

    Give this a try to personalize your Edge News page.

    1. Launch Edge
    2. Go to your Feed
    3. If there is an article from a publisher that you don't want to see, hover your mouse on that article
    4. Click the 3 dots symbol on the lower right corner of that article.
    5. Select "Hide stories from ..."
    6. Click Hide to confirm.
    7. Refresh your Feed and you should not get anymore articles from the hidden publisher.

    Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!

    I still would like to block domains.

    Google Chrome lets one do it. 

    ie: foxnews.com 

    I don't want AI to determine if fox news is forcing their entertainment on me. I want to simply lock the domain.
    It would be easy and very effective to block their 'news'
