I'll keep it short but exposure to global news is making me more anxious and angry than ever and I'm finding it harder to escape. I realise this anxiety is irrational given there's nothing I can do about it, but telling me such platitudes doesn't help make it go away.

In the past I have put news websites into my hosts file to block them and it kind of works, but I often end up removing the blocks, or news leaks through on other sites, like on HN. Does anybody know a browser extension that does more intelligent filtering?

There's places in real life I see news on TVs but unless somebody invents some really good AR glasses I don't think there's anything I can do about this one.

I have also recently liquidated my entire investment portfolio so that I don't need to keep up with news.
