   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?

     @arstechnica are they going to link users to the original articles or are they going to show you an AMP(?) version on their servers?

     @arstechnica Ridiculous.
     The reason people went from Yahoo to Googlr was :
     - less bloated
     - better results

     Now Google is bloated and the results are shit again because people got too good at SSO.

     @arstechnica Google abandoning one of the good reasons why I used Google. But that doesn't matter anyway because I usually Google right off the url bar.
