Ask HN: Is Google changing navigation button ordering based on what you search?

3 pointsdevrob2y ago1 comments

I think I'm in an A/B test but I'm noticing that when I make a G search now, the familiar navigation items like "News", "Images", "Shopping", etc are now being replaced with contextually "relevant" words.

Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=Test+speed&uds=GyEA-I3UWq037NLJSXQMKMAMAuze-kMgoIoRGgUM5dKRm2HK_Q&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiisd-vm_r_AhV6LTQIHRTEBdAQxKsJegQIDRAB&ictx=0&biw=2400&bih=1096&dpr=0.8

Anyone else seeing this, any way to disable it?

Yes, it's mildly infuriating if you have muscle memory.
