Google is testing a redesigned Search homepage for signed-out users, and the experiment was spotted on August 11, 2026.

An AI Mode button also appears inside the search field, while the I'm Feeling Lucky button remains on the redesigned page. -

A man opened his Google library to watch the extended editions of "The Lord of the Rings" and couldn't find them. He'd bought Peter Jackson's trilogy back in 2022, paid for it honestly, and four years later the films simply vanished from his account — no warning, no email, no explanation. He posted his support chat log on Reddit, and the screenshots spread across the internet within a couple of days. The support agent's response was about as brief as it gets: those films are no longer available in the catalog. His request for a refund was denied — the purchase fell outside Google's standard 120-day window, during which it's willing to refund the cost or issue a gift card. Asked whether he could at least get a gift card, he got the same refusal. -

What if your AI knew more about your private documents than it ever should? An indie developer has claimed that Google Gemini blurted out a secret character name — one that supposedly existed only in a private Google Doc and was never published anywhere else. There’s no hard evidence of a leak just yet, but the story has already got people asking a very uncomfortable question: just how private are our cloud documents, really? -

A malware-infected Windows PC can undermine Google Password Manager's synced passkeys, and in one case researchers said they were able to pull a secret from Chrome memory that helps protect them. On August 4, Unit 42 said it found several ways to get around passkeys stored in Chrome, including methods that could expose the key used to encrypt synchronized passkeys. The attacks require the target machine to already be compromised. -
