According to new code reports found in the open-source Chromium platform, Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi and Brave will soon benefit from Google's personalized news feed called "Discover.".
Google Discover (formerly known as Google Feed or Google Now Feed) is a personalized content feed that displays relevant news to mobile.
Discover is currently accessible through the Google app and Chrome for Android and iOS only , but a new code commit suggests that other Chromium-based browsers will soon be able to take advantage of the Discover feed
References to this upcoming feature were spotted on the Chromium Gerrit, where Google engineer Carlos Knippschild made a commit titled “Add a feature flag for the Web Feed feature.”.
The code commit description explains that the experimental flag will allow users to “watch web content” on the New Tab Page (NTP).
This “WebFeed” feature will likely be very similar – if not identical – to the Discover feed already found in Chrome.
Although the flag has been added since Google Chrome Canary for Android, enabling the feature does not affect the browser, as has the Discover feature built-in.
This feature has not been spotted in other browsers , which suggests that the feature is in the early stages of development.
As some features are being added to Google Chrome for Android before they are released on Desktop, this may indicate that Discover will also come to desktop.
