Search giant Google is set to launch Google Discover on its desktop version’s homepage. This means when you arrive on Google.com, you’ll be able to use the news feature.
We’ve been hearing about the launch since 2018, but it seems after years of experimenting, Google is finally ready to give in. The exciting news was first confirmed on the X app, where two users shared slides from a Googler that detailed more on the matter. Google shared this at the Search Central Live program that was held in Spain this morning.
The slide boldly stated that Google Discover is going to expand its surfaces to Desktop Search after years of testing. The alert is great as it really can transform the news landscape and alter the business model used by media publishers in real time.

The company also dropped hints about the latest feature when one tester was able to identify the details of a test carried out. Experts feel this is huge news and can give rise to major traffic across various publishers. For now, it’s mostly focusing on mobile phones when getting access to the various mobile platforms or the homepage for Google Mobile.
If it arrives on Google’s desktop home page, it can double as exposure for Google Discover traffic for different publishers. This can be a great thing for a lot of users, especially those who attain great amounts of traffic through the Discover feature.
