Some of the changes include:
- A brighter design that allows people to focus on information “instead of the design elements around them”.
- Bold text in the search results, facilitating the distinction between different types of information. This also includes using more of “Google’s own source”.

- Colors are used more purposefully, used to highlight certain types of information instead of distracting
- Everything is rounder for more that Google vibe.
