My homepage doesn't have anything but if i type in google.com it does.
same here. google.com (not ur google home page) has something.
the difference is the URL
http://google.com takes you to Google's homepage
(accessible via any browser) - Search engine interface . When talkin about not seeing the same Google advertizing or "cause backing" banner from your normal Google page, if you are using Chrome or Edge you're seeing the Chromium Omnibox search engine query box that is built-into the browser (
why you see your most-viewed and can access your profile Privacy , etc.) That has been 'built-in' to the Chrome (
and Edge) browser for a while now but can cause confusion like this , if I understand you correctly.
