Google is making it easier to see news from your favorite outlets. A new feature, called “preferred sources,” will let you choose the outlets you want to see featured the most in Search’s “top stories” section.

Google’s top stories hub appears when you search for something related to a current event, and displays a bunch of relevant articles from around the web. Along with prominently featuring articles from your preferred outlets in the top stories list, Google may also include them in a new “from your sources” section. Google first started testing the preferred sources feature in June, and now it’s rolling out to users in the US and India.

      I mean, no you don’t given that they’re being used in virtually every call centre and help desk these days.

      It doesn’t incorporate LLMs per se. Read their mission statement on LLM. I also use LLMs for $dayjob and at home, and only use Kagi because I can access all models directly from there, and it’s seriously great.

        The LLM stuff is fully optional, but the money we pay goes to develop that too, and I can see how one might not want that. I’m personally irked that Proton did that very thing.

        I can respect holding to the principles the previous poster has.
