Google Now for Desktop is here?

4 pointsslake2 comments

I turned on my computer this morning and got a desktop notification asking me if I wanted to turn on google now cards. I clicked yes but I'm not sure how to use it. No change on the blank tab or the google.com page.

I use Version 27.0.1453.116 m

I have a background Extension on Chrome so it runs on startup.

Anyone else seeing the same?

Not seeing it on 29.0.1541.0 dev-m.

There has been a chrome://flags/ flag called "Google Now - Enable Google Now notifications support" for a few months now but it doesn't seem to do anything. Could it be related to that?

Looks like it's Windows or ChromeOS only:

>Google Now Windows, Chrome OS >Enable Google Now notifications support. >Sorry, this experiment is not available on your platform.

(27.0.1453.116)
