Google Explores News-Filled Homepage with Discover Feed for Desktop
TL;DR Summary
Google is testing a new version of its homepage in India that resembles the "Google Discover" newsfeed found on its mobile app. The experiment features rows of news articles and "at a glance" cards displaying sports scores, stocks, and weather. This change makes Google's homepage busier and more similar to Bing and Yahoo. It is unclear if this experiment will lead to a wide launch or if it will remain an optional setting. The discrepancy between the mobile app and desktop website is notable, and it remains to be seen if Google will make a significant change to its homepage.
