       Ask HN: How to block all political content from showing up online?
        
       I would like to block all political news online from showing up
       while reading/researching stuff online. What are tips, methods and
       techniques that i can employ to block such news/content?

       | As an easy example: looking up where to get a booster shot for
       | COVID-19? That's very political, at least in the US.
