The google search engine cover It will expand its functionality with the possibility of adding information cards, halfway between the style of Google Discover on mobile and the front page of Microsoft Edge with that mixture of Bing and MSN. You know where the story is going, right?

According to 9to5Google, tests to implement and polish the concept began at least a few months ago, but they are already quite advanced and will completely change the look and functionality of the Google search engine homepage.

It is worth highlighting the term «Google search engine cover», because the original reports talk about «the new google.com«, but it is normal for the domain to change according to the country you are visiting and it would in no way affect the results pages that are most used.

On the other hand, changes of this type are usually seen first on google.com, but in the US version… And one more thing to keep in mind: everything that is included there will most likely be added eventually to new tab page in Chromea real zero kilometer for the vast majority of Google and Chrome users.

But what are we talking about? From what was said: fill in the blanks around the search box with “tabs” that display information of interest to the user. For example, weather forecast, latest news, stock information, recommendations for watching new series and movies…

Nothing new under the sun, really. Google goes through life minimalistic with many of its products and services today, but it wasn’t always like that. Or is it because no one remembers iGoogle anymore? What life gives is worth the excess!

All in all, the Google search engine home page may not be the most common page in the world, despite the service’s ubiquity, as most users usually access the search engine through the browser’s new tab page… But as stated, what starts there is most likely to end up there, i.e. in Chrome.

It remains to be seen what Google will do with the shortcuts, complete everything as it seems to be, but the truth is that there is a space for everything. We’ll see.
