Nov 2017

When I start my Google Chrome browser, I have it set to bring up 3 tabs. Google search, Google News and the Yahoo home page.

I had Google News set as: https://news.google.com/news/

but was it really wanted to see was: https://news.google.com/news/headlines?hl=en

The latter is how Google brings it up Google apps.

So, it's now solid, no redirects and the extension is disabled.

Thanks for the discussion, really appreciated it!
