- Replaced the "Nations League" sports section with a dedicated "War in Ukraine" news block.
- Updated the main news feed with new stories about a Cornell scandal, a leadership change at VG, and US threats regarding weapon deliveries to Ukraine.
- Refreshed the "Har du fått med deg dette?" video carousel with new lifestyle and health content, such as pregnancy myths and loneliness.
Why it matters
The site is testing a new personalization feature that lets users filter out local news. This shows they are trying to make the homepage more relevant for people living outside the capital.
