News . Google is my main source of need since I already have a Gmail. I like how you can customize what you see by choosing to "see less" "not interested in these topics" and "hide from X source" it really helped curate what news I'm actually seeing and it updates quite frequently

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I just haven't been able to find anything else. Its what's been most accessible and reliable for me.

It's good, but my Pihole blocks a lot of the articles because most of the links use amp, meaning they are tracking everything you click through it. This is from a purley mobile\android perspective in my case, but I'm sure the desktop experience isn't far from it.
