On the web, only a few Google apps and services offer a night mode. Google Drive is now the latest to introduce a dark theme.  Once available, you’ll be prompted by “New! Dark mode” to “Continue to enjoy Drive in the dark.” Afterwards, tap the gear icon in the top-right corner > Settings > General > Appearance. It does not automatically follow your device theme.

One of Google Search‘s oldest and best-known features, cache links, are being retired, Google’s search liaison said in an X post seen by The Verge.

After debuting in Messages on Android, the Google Account switcher on the web is getting a Material You redesign. It features rounded corners for all elements with two main containers. The foreground one features a larger profile avatar with name and email address next to it followed by a “Manage your Google Account” button that’s housed in a rounded rectangle instead of the usual pill.  If you’re signed into more than one account, that appears next with “Add another… Source link
