Hides ads, sponsored cards and clickbait in Google Discover
F-Droid repository metadata
Discover Feed Filter cleans up Google Discover, the news feed on the Pixel Launcher -1 screen and inside the Google app.
What it removes:
- Sponsored cards and ads, dropped before they reach the feed
- Clickbait, with your own filters. Hide stories by headline or source, plain text or regex, starting from the built-in clickbait presets
- Google's share.google redirect links. Shared articles use their real link instead
The dashboard counts the ads and clickbait articles it has hidden. After a Google app update, open the app and rescan, or turn on auto-repair to handle it automatically with root.
Prerequisites: the Google app (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox), and a rooted device (KernelSU, APatch or Magisk) running an Xposed framework manager such as LSPosed or Vector. The module does nothing without both.

How to install
Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
