Kagi seems interesting but I refuse to pay for anything that incorporates llms.
Well you're definitely saving a lot of money these days then!

Google is making it easier to see news from your favorite outlets. A new feature, called “preferred sources,” will let you choose the outlets you want to see featured the most in Search’s “top stories” section.
Google’s top stories hub appears when you search for something related to a current event, and displays a bunch of relevant articles from around the web. Along with prominently featuring articles from your preferred outlets in the top stories list, Google may also include them in a new “from your sources” section. Google first started testing the preferred sources feature in June, and now it’s rolling out to users in the US and India.

Um. Didn't we go through the whole IP thing a while back? I wonder if Google is paying those news outlets.
Also, anything to try to stay relevant, right, rotten G? Who cares.

This used to be a thing iirc. Then too many advertisers were getting "don't show results from this source" and Google nixed it.

It doesn’t incorporate LLMs per se. Read their mission statement on LLM. I also use LLMs for $dayjob and at home, and only use Kagi because I can access all models directly from there, and it’s seriously great.

further enabling media bubbles. i’d rather see an approach that leverages something like ground.news that ranks the bias in articles.

Well, yes and no. If you can choose your media sources, then you avoid accidental drifting (trust me, I’ve accidentally drifted before, almost ended badly)

The LLM stuff is fully optional, but the money we pay goes to develop that too, and I can see how one might not want that. I’m personally irked that Proton did that very thing.
I can respect holding to the principles the previous poster has.

Nah the people affected by these bubbles are too dumb to use these tools anyway lmao

I've been using Kagi.com as my main search engine for over a year now exactly for this feature and still Google is behind here only offering for news and blogs. On Kagi you can just click any domain and select priority level which works incredibly well!
One of the few US companies I’m not boycotting and do actively pay for.

I mean, no you don't given that they're being used in virtually every call centre and help desk these days.
