Google Rolls Out Preferred News Sources Globally
2025-08-13
Google has launched its "Preferred Sources" feature in the U.S. and India, allowing users to select their preferred news sites and blogs for Google's Top Stories. This lets users see more content from sources they like. Users can add sources via a star icon next to Top Stories, searching for their preferred sites. Google notes that for some searches, a separate 'From your sources' section will appear. While convenient, this raises concerns about filter bubbles and echo chambers. Initially a Search Labs experiment, over half of testers selected four or more sources. Now, it's available to all English-language users in the U.S. and India.
