It’s worth noting that the HTML view has been beneficial for visually impaired individuals, as it is more compatible with screen-reading aids, offering a smoother experience. However, Google is adamant about moving all users to the ‘Standard View.’
HTML View’s Official Retirement Date
Google has set January 2024 as the official retirement date for the HTML view.
