Background
Google operates Search, Discover, Google News, AI Mode, and AI Overviews, which share users’ preferred-source selections. [1]
Google launched a one-click button that publishers can embed on their websites so readers can designate them as preferred sources, according to TechCrunch. [1]
The embeddable button builds on Google’s Preferred Sources personalization feature, which began rolling out in May. [1]
Readers can also add outlets by name or website through Google’s source-preferences page, and favored outlets then appear more often across supported Google products. [1]
Google says its research found that people are twice as likely to click through to a favorited outlet when it appears in results. [1]
Google also lets users reshape Discover with natural-language instructions and customize an audio daily briefing in Google News on Android. [1]
