Google is experimenting with AI-driven interface changes and reconsidering the need for country-code TLDs for internationally targeted websites. John Mueller characterizes certain low-value SEO content as "digital mulch," indicating increased scrutiny of shallow or repetitive content. Microsoft Advertising launched a custom columns feature to enhance campaign reporting. Google AI Overviews is testing a speaker play button in the US, and Chrome is testing replacing the Gemini button with a "Browse using AI" option.
