Out of curiosity I installed the Google app on my Fire 8+ tablet (Android
 fork OS) and the Discovery search page looks pretty much the same as the
 Chrome browser. Google claims to make the articles interesting to me by
 monitoring my usage. Scary for the paranoid, huh.

Interestingly I haven't yet figured out how to get Discovery on this Chrome
 tablet I'm posting with. It has a desktop Chrome browser with no Discovery
 on the search page and when I try to download the Google app it says it
 won't work on this device. C'mon Google. Ah well I'll try again after
 lunch...
