The first new feature in decades: Games. An array of 22 daily games to challenge logic, numbers, words, and other bits from the site. What good is daily games without leaderboards and tracking your progress. For the first time in decades, registration to the site is back. Registration keeps your stats and progress across any device. There are no subscriptions. As part of singing up, you can control the order of the games, and you can hide any you are not particularly fond of. Your account remembers your News category selections and weather location.
Games have their own category, but also show up on the homepage as a reminder of what you're missing. The registration system was built from scratch with One-Time Password and Passkey options.
Other changes? Improved refresh when the page is stale, multi-sourced allergy information, better news article merging, dust warnings to the weather page, and other changes for consistency and formatting.
