Google is experimenting with including Discover Feed on its desktop home page that displays recommended content alongside the company’s traditional search box. TO screenshot of MSPowerUser, which spotted the change, displays a feed that includes news headlines, weather forecasts, sports scores, and stock information from a trio of companies. The search giant previously added Discover Feed to its US homepage on mobile in 2018.
Google spokesperson Lara Levin confirmed the change in a statement given to the edge, pointing out that it is an experiment that is currently being carried out in India. Any change to Google com It is important as it is still the most visited website in the world.
The search giant has experimented with its desktop homepage before. Last year 9to5Google stained is testing a row of widget-like cards on its desktop home page that display a similar mix of news, weather forecasts and stock information. However, it’s unclear how widely the feature has been rolled out and it’s not showing up for me in the UK at the time of writing.
As MSPowerUser points out, Google’s experimental interface is similar to the one offered by Microsoft in your Bing search engine, which already contains a long list of news and other information. I’ll always like the simplicity of Google’s traditional interface, but I must admit that I barely visit the search engine’s home page now after more than a decade of being able to search directly from my browser’s address bar.
