According to 9to5 Mac, Google is testing dark mode for desktop search. “The white background switches to a dark gray hue that matches first-party mobile apps. Google’s logo is white instead of being multi-colored — though the microphone icon is unchanged, while the gray outline of the search field is reversed. The usually colorful icons representing the different filters (All, Images, News, etc.) are just blue, with the tab accent color similar,” the report stated.
The report further revealed that once the feature is turned
on, the multi-colored Google logo will turn white, there will be no changes in
the microphone. The fonts would appear in white whereas the links would
continue to appear in blue, as per screenshots shared by the 9to5 Google. The screenshots
are from Windows 10 in both Chrome and Firefox.
9to5 Google stated in its report that the dark mode has not
been rolled out entirely. Only a handful of users have received the feature so
far.
Google earlier announced that it is rolling out a new
information panel in Search to counter misinformation about coronavirus
vaccines. Google aims to combat misinformation about coronavirus. UK will be
the first country to receive the new feature because it is first country to
officially roll out vaccines.
“Beginning in the United Kingdom, we’re launching a new
feature on Search so when people look up information for COVID-19 vaccines, we
will surface a list of authorized vaccines in their location, as well as
information panels on each individual vaccine. As other health authorities
begin authorizing vaccines, we’ll introduce this new feature in more
countries,” Karen DeSalvo, MD, M.P.H, Chief Health Officer, Google Health said
in a blog.
Google said when the pandemic first came into notice, it had
given $250 million in Ad Grants to help more than 100 government agencies
around the world run critical public service announcements about COVID-19. It
had also partnered with fact-checking groups to counter misinformation on its
platform. The search giant revealed that it had removed more than 700,000
videos that were misleading the people about COVID-19 and were spreading fake
information about the disease.
