- After introducing the feature in Labs in June, Google is now rolling out “Preferred Sources” in the US and India.
- With this feature, users can select trusted websites that will appear more prominently in Top Stories.
- Users can easily manage and update their source preferences anytime.
Users have long been complaining about the dropping quality of Google Search results, thanks to a deadly cocktail of low-quality spam sites, a lot of sponsored content and ads, and more recently, AI slop. Google has undertaken various steps to restore Search to its past reputation of being right on the ball with what you want to see, and one of its most recent experiments was with Preferred Sources. It seems the results were in favor of Preferred Sources, as the company is now rolling it out to users in the US and India.
As the name implies, Preferred Sources allows users to prioritize the websites from which they prefer to get their news. Users in the US and India can now select their favorite sources, whether it be their favorite sports blog, a local news outlet, or even us at Android Authority.
