Chrome can group visited sites by topic automatically with 'Journeys'
New Google Chrome experiment is testing out "Journeys" which automatically group information and sites you visited by topic.
Rather than searching manually, Google automatically grouped all the info for you and also offer search suggestions. Google gave an example that you are researching for a trip to Yosemite for awhile, "Journeys" will gather all the sites you visited before so you don't need to sift through your browsing history.
It is available to check in

Teacup version of Gboard made by Google, with April Fools homage
Introduction Video | Official Website | Google Japan Blog
A teacup keyboard made by Google, I am wondering who will even use that. Also Google like Japan more +1.
You can fill in drinks in the cup and also used it as a keyboard, so a 2 in 1 combo. And it an actual working keyboard instead of mocking. Google did create a prototype and published instructions on how to make one for yourself on GitHub. The idea of this stuff was likely to be an April Fool in 2020, as written in the video denoscription. (9To5Google)
*Wondering what next for such a weird product like this by Google, An actual working pen which is also a mouse? It will be interesting, just my imaginative creation anyway.

Google Search officially end support for Internet Explorer
Google Search is no longer officially supporting Internet Explorer starting today, but good news is that you will still be able to use it.
Your experience with Google on Internet Explorer is going to be a little worse, as you are getting the old fallback design. This means you won't get stuff like coronavirus detail info, knowledge panel and many more. it just going to be a simple search website.
Matle Ubl, a software engineer at Google, confirmed that Google Search is no longer supporting Internet Explorer. In his tweet, he also mentioned that the team "did the math", calculated the cost of maintaining proper support for the browser compared to the value of keeping customers. Anyway, be thankful you can still search with the browser if you are limited to using it. (9To5Google)

YouTube added 'Continue Watching' feature, making it easier to resume watching video
This should have easily being added by YouTube earlier, but better late than never, YouTube now let you quickly resume watching your video that you closed on your phone and other devices.
If you are watching a video and later quit the YouTube app on your Android or iOS device, opening it on the web will display the video you just watched on your phone. In the mini popup player, you will see Continue Playing at the bottom of the video noscript instead of the channel name.
On the Android TV and other TV operating system YouTube app, the feature also works too. On the mobile app, you will not be treated with the "Continue watching" feature though, for now. (9To5Google)

YouTube Music will rollout free background listening feature to Canada users on Nov 3
Background listening used to be a Premium subnoscription exclusive perk on YouTube services, but seems like Google wanted to make it a free access feature, starting with Canada first.
From November 3, YouTube Music users in Canada on Android and iOS will be able to use background listening for free. Finally you can let your screen off or use other applications when listening to music.
Ads will still be part of the experience, something similar to how Spotify works. Automatically shuffles albums, songs, and playlists is part of this rollout too. (9To5Google)
