Google is bringing Discover to other Chromium browsers
2020-12-21 10:16

According to new code references found in the open-source Chromium platform, Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi and Brave should soon be able to take advantage of Google's personalized news feed called 'Discover'.

Discover is currently accessible via the Google app and Chrome for Android and iOS only, but a new code commit suggests that other Chromium-based browsers should soon be able to take advantage of 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."

Although the flag has been added by Google Chrome Canary for Android, enabling the feature does not affect the browser as it already has the built-in Discover feature.

As some features are added to Google Chrome for Android before being released to Desktop, it also might indicate that Discover will come to desktop users in the future as well.
