Customizing sources is pretty limited too. The Science section is full of pop-sci headlines, often exaggerated from studies, rather than just direct links to new journal articles.
RSS might be the better option here...
I wish. My Google News page is full of bullshit clickbait along the lines of "NASA WARNS 2 METEORS HEADING FOR EARTH, 1 WILL HIT YOUR HOUSE."
Seriously, Google, this is an embarrassment to your entire company. Either put some competent people on News, or shut it down.
This is painfully accurate. The technology section is also bad, since no matter how hard I try to get Google News to show me technical/interesting content, it keeps recommending me banal stories of "the blockchain revolution", smart-phones, and video games.
Any suggestions for a decent RSS reader?
try this too

In the end i was tired to have to switch between apps and websites to get my news, and was frustrated by Google News, not enough categories, not enough content sources...
So i decided to build a Google News/RSS Reader crossover that i could use to manage my RSS feeds, and check the Top Stories of the day, all of that in a single app. I added some processing on top of that to automatically cateogrize content, extract names of people, places, companies, etc...
It still is an early version, there's a lot of room for improvements and new features but i feel it's definitely going in the right direction.
