The Google News page layout has updated, here in the UK. Here’s the latest on how to tame it…
1. Hide thumbnails and icons:
Add these lines to the foot of your uBlock Origin block list, save, reload…
These lines should hide your thumbnails and ID icon on Google News…

2. Fix the colours and font size.
Headline text colour and font size is controlled via CSS thus…
/*** Fixes Google news headline colour and font size ***/
.nDgy9d.JheGif
{
color: #3d69ac!important;
font-size: 15px !important;
}
/*** Fixes Google news source-name colour and font size ***/
.WF4CUc.XTjFC
{
color: #4c7d48!important;
font-size: 13px !important;
}
/*** Highlights date on Google news result ***/
.WG9SHc
{
color: #e3732a!important;
font-size: 11px !important;
}
This can be added to the bottom of anything you have controlling the CSS for Google, e.g. the Stylus browser addon and a UserStyle.
3.
Block search suggestions as you type your search query.
