Apart from this new preview page feature, Google recently also announced that it is adding the ‘Full Coverage’ feature to Google Search.

It seems to be Android-only for the time being.
As reported by Mashable, this full-coverage feature allows users to explore top news, local headlines, in-depth pieces, explainers, interviews, and more with just a tap of a button. Google’s ‘Full Coverage’ in search is also available on mobile devices, beginning with English in the US. It will be rolled out in more languages and locations in the future.
It’s a small, but helpful, feature if you want to quickly check the contents of a webpage without fully leaving your current page.
