Google Pixel 9 Series Wallpapers Leaked
Source
Google Pixel 8 series wallpaper theme was minerals.
This year, the Pixel 9 series will feature “Swirling Petals,” described as “a swirling display of abstract florals.”
There are both light and dark versions of each wallpaper.
Unlike previous Pixel generations, this year’s wallpapers are not attributed to any particular artist, so it’s likely they were created internally at Google.
Color Options
Pixel 9: Jade, Obsidian, Peony, and Porcelain
Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL: Hazel, Obsidian, Porcelain, and Rose
Pixel 9 Pro Fold: Obsidian and Porcelain (Gold)
The leaked wallpapers can be downloaded in full resolution via the Google Drive link

YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers
YouTube videos are suddenly skipping straight to the end of the video. Even if the video is just replayed, it skips straight to the end almost immediately. It’s a strange phenomenon and one that only appears to be happening for users with an adblocker installed.
Also, if you try to skip to a certain part of the video, it just endlessly loads in some cases.
Many believe that this is an intentional move on YouTube’s part to discourage the use of adblockers.
Note: This has been fixed on uBlock Origin.

Google might have accidentally published docs about how Search works
The material appears to have been committed to a publicly accessible Google-owned repository on GitHub around March 13 by their own automated tooling.
The leaked documentation describes an old version of Google's Content Warehouse API and provides a glimpse of Google Search’s inner workings. There are over 2,500 pages in total. While this data shows what factors Google Search might take into consideration when ordering Search results, it does not reveal what the importance/”weight” of each factor is to the final ranking.
The SEO consultants believe the documents contain noteworthy details because they differ from public statements made by Google representatives.

Source
The Google Pixel watch 3 will launch alongside Google Pixel 9 series and Pixel 9 Fold in October.
This time, the Pixel watch would be available in two sizes unlike the Pixel watch 2 which was available only in 41mm size.
It will also sport a slightly larger battery with 307mAh capacity and thus would be a bit thicker as well compared to the Pixel Watch 2
The Pixel Watch 3 is also tipped to feature a 1.2-inch display, the same as its predecessor.
In terms of dimensions, the Pixel Watch 3 measures 40.79 x 40.73 x 14mm compared to the Pixel Watch 2 which measures 1.2-inch and 41 x 41 x 12.3mm.

YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection. This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream.
This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times.

Google is cancelling subnoscription for those who used VPN workarounds for cheaper YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium Subnoscription is priced at different rates in different countries to better accommodate the purchasing power of the local currency and align with consumer expectations.
For example, in the US it costs 14$ per month while in India its 1.5$ per month
Thus, some users have used VPNs to buy YouTube Premium at cheaper rates, but it appears that Google is cracking down on such subnoscriptions and canceling them.
Several YouTube Premium subscribers have had their Premium membership randomly canceled.
However, the common thread between these cancelations is that the users used a VPN workaround to subscribe to Premium at a cheaper rate than what is available for their home market.
Redditors who have contacted customer service mention that their cancelation is because the user “moved” to a different location than the one they signed up from.

Google no longer developing Material Web Components
MWC offered a library of Material 3 components — Button, FAB, Icon button, Checkbox, Chips, Dialog, Divider, Elevation, Focus ring, List, Menu, Progress indicators, Radio, Ripple, Select, Slider, Switch, Tabs, and Text field — that developers could use on websites.
Earlier this month, the team announced (h/t Artem Russakovskii) that MWC has entered maintenance mode and will no longer see updates with all future plans abandoned.
The original team is “investigating ways to continue development of new features and components, including identifying new maintainers.”

Cancelled Google Pixel Fold Prototype
Here's your first look at cancelled Google Pixel Fold, codenamed "Pipit".
(Images quality are quite bad since they were first posted on XDA but were later deleted)
If “pipit” were to be released, it would’ve come a few months after the Pixel 6 series, so obviously, its specs are a generation behind compared to the current Pixel Fold codenamed "Felix"
Pipit Specifications
Resolution: 1080x2100 px
SoC: Google Tensor G1
Modem: Exynos 5123
• 12MP main (IMX 363, OIS) + 12MP UltraWide (IMX 386)
• NO Telephoto camera
• 8MP outer (IMX 355) + 8MP inner front (IMX 355)
Meanwhile, Felix Specs:
• 1080x2092 px resolution
• Google Tensor G2 SoC
• Exynos 5300 Modem
• 48MP main (IMX 787, OIS) + 12MP UltraWide (IMX 386)
• 11MP Telephoto camera (Samsung 3J1)
• 11MP outer (Samsung 3J1) + 8MP inner front (IMX 355)
Interestingly, Google also developed a prototype version of the device with support for stylus input. Unfortunately, the idea was eventually scrapped.
