Google is making the Search experience feel less like a 'chef's choice' menu. After rolling out its new Preferred Sources tool to a small subset of US users earlier this year, and subsequently expanding it to users in India, Google is now rolling out Preferred Sources to English users globally.
This comes roughly a week after the tech giant suggested that the rollout would commence "soon."

Google's 'Preferred Sources' is finally going global
Hitting every region soon
Posts 1 By Karandeep Singh OberoiFor those unaware, setting up Preferred Sources, as the tool's name suggests, allows you to see more search results from the sources you've explicitly stated that you trust and want to see more of. These show up right at the top of Google Search.
The tool is now available to use worldwide, but only for English-language users. The tech giant plans to roll the feature out to all Search-supported languages early next year.
When someone picks a preferred source, they click to that site twice as much on average.
Users have the freedom to select as many sources as they want, complete with the option to manage said selection later on.
Here's how to set a website as your Preferred Source
