Customization and Disabling
One concern raised by observers is the ability to customize or disable this feature. In the case of Google’s Discovery Feed on mobile devices, it cannot be disabled or personalized by users. Instead, website owners hold the key to ensuring their content reaches the intended audience through the feed. The feed does prioritize showing articles related to a user’s interests, but the level of customization is limited.
The Future of Google’s Desktop Search
While this experiment is shedding light on Google’s potential plans for enhancing its desktop search experience, it’s important to note that there’s no guarantee it will become an official feature. The company is known for testing various ideas and gathering feedback before rolling out changes. As part of this continuous evolution, Google recently started testing an “image generation tool on the AI-powered Search Generative Experience (SGE),” similar to features offered by Bing.
