Google.com tests a news-filled homepage, just like Bing and Yahoo
The mobile app has a "Google Discover" newsfeed, so the homepage should, too?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Google is still wondering if it should make major changes to its homepage.
The last experiment we saw filled the usually stark white page with info cards showing things like the weather and stocks, but this new experiment, spotted by the site MSPoweruser, has a much bigger focus on news.
The Verge reached someone at Google about this and was told it's an experiment currently being run in India.
Just like last year's info card experiment, this homepage test could go nowhere and might never see a wide launch.
It is very strange that the mobile app and desktop website are so different now, though.
And with the Google of 2023 so willing to sacrifice old traditions in the name of revenue, maybe a big change to the homepage will finally happen.
