Google has launched "Preferred Sources" in Italy, a feature that allows users to choose which sites appear more frequently in the Top Stories section of search results. This innovation changes how online news is followed and can be particularly useful for those seeking constant updates on video games, cinema, TV series, pop culture, and technology.

The feature allows users to manually indicate the publications they consider most interesting or reliable, partially customizing the news flow shown by Google.

What are Google Preferred Sources

The system introduces more direct control over the sources that appear in search results related to current events. When you search for a recent topic, a star icon may appear next to the Top Stories section. From there, you can select the sites you want to see more often.

The chosen sources are then highlighted in the "From your sources" section, while still including content from other publications.

According to data shared by Google, users tend to click much more frequently on sites added to their personal preferences. The company also explained that, during the initial phase of the Labs program, many users selected more than four different sources.

Why use Gamesurf among your selected sources

For those who follow the world of digital entertainment, a feature like this can help filter the daily news flow more effectively. Gamesurf has been covering video games, cinema, TV series, pop culture, and technology for years, following announcements, events, trailers, reviews, and in-depth analyses.

Adding the site to your Preferred Sources means increasing the likelihood of seeing updates related to these topics directly in Google search results, without relying solely on the algorithm's automatic selection.

This new feature comes at a time when Google is experimenting with tools increasingly focused on personalizing the information experience, giving users greater choice over the sources they consult daily.
