Google is experimenting with a loading animation on mobile search results that appears when sponsored ads are being displayed, featuring Gemini branding and messaging. The animation suggests Google may be exploring deeper integration between Gemini and the ad-serving mechanism, though the exact purpose and scope of the test remain unclear.
