How do I see my favorite sites in Google Discover?
Beyond Top Stories, Google also recently added the option to follow your favorite publishers and creators in Google Discover. I’ve written a full guide that walks you through how to tell Google that you want to see more of ZDNET while you’re scrolling through your personalized feed – whether that’s from the right side of your Android home screen, in the Google app, or from a new Chrome tab on your device.
What are the top stories in Google search?
Google Top Stories is a section on the Google search results page that highlights the most relevant and timely news articles related to your search. When Google detects a current event, trending topic or news query it appears as a carousel at the top of the page.
Is there a quick way to add ZDNET as a preferred source?
Yes. Specifically in Chrome and Chromium browsers, you can go to on this link To automatically load ZDNET as the preferred source.
Will I be able to see ZDNET Top Stories only once I add it?
No, Google will still show a mix of sources, but you’ll see ZDNET articles more often when they’re relevant and fresh.
Can I change my favorite sources later?
Yes. Your priorities are not set in stone. If you ever want to add more sources or remove one, you can go back to the star button next to Top Stories and make any changes.
Can I add more than one favorite source?
Yes. You can add as many as you want — Google says More than half of early testers chose four or more.
Do I need a Google account to set Preferred Sources?
Yes. You must sign in to your Google Account so that your preferences can be saved.
I can’t set a preferred source on Google. Why?
Preferred sources may not be available to you yet.
