A new experiment by Digital Phablet involves Google testing a feature that presents related searches based on your browsing activity. This feature appears as a box titled “Related searches based on your browsing.” While it’s still unclear whether Google is truly leveraging browsing history from Chrome—beyond just tracking search queries itself—it seems possible that your browsing habits could influence these suggestions.
This idea came to light when a user shared a screenshot on social media, showing a list of related search terms generated after browsing certain pages. The screenshot highlights a potential shift in how Google curates related searches, possibly integrating more comprehensive user behavior, though there’s some uncertainty if browsing data is actually being used or if Google is just experimenting with different interface labels.
It’s important to note that Google has long provided related search suggestions based on your previous search history, other search activity, and what users tend to click on. Whether browsing history is now playing a role remains uncertain, and further observations are needed to confirm this change.
