Google is changing the way visible URLs show up on mobile search results worldwide. Search results since 2009 have shown “breadcrumbs” or the hierarchy of a webpage’s URL using “>” after the domain name, but starting today, it will only show the domain on your smartphone or tablet.

Web developers have had some control over how results show up according to Google’s structured data guidelines that also control how info shows up in its snippets and other areas,...

It’s time to once again make you aware of British stadium food. This time it’s an attempt at a cheesesteak, and it’s going to be more effective at curbing your appetite than Ozempic.

Cam Newton actually found a way to leave Stephen A. Smith speechless

Cam dropped one of the wildest comparisons on ‘First Take’

Cam Newton continues to make his post-football foray into media, and it’s getting absolutely buck wild. Newton appeared on First Take Thursday to give his opinion on whether it’s okay that Mark Andrews hasn’t spoken to the media since his disastrous playoff game that essentially handed an AFC Championship berth to the Bills after fumbling the ball, and dropping the game-tying two-point conversion.

“If the Galaxy Ring cost $250, I’d say Samsung was a diabolical genius company. But at $400, it’s asking a lot for what amounts to a secondary device for your smartwatch,” is how Victoria ultimately felt about the Samsung Galaxy Ring in her review. Well, it’s not exactly $250, but a deal on the health-tracking wearable that brings it down to $279.99 ($120 off) at Amazon is close...
