I’ve tried it on mobile and it works very well. Super smooth navigation, nothings lagging or moving in unintuitive ways. But for me personally the preview of the next column takes up just a little too much space. Coupled with the fact that the active column has no white space on the left and is off center makes it feel a little cramped. But I think this could be solved with a little tweaking. The overall layout looks and fells great. I am using Kagi at the moment, but were I to use Google I’d definitely consider using this.

Great it is working good for you, that makes me very happy. Glad it is smooth and fast. I tried really hard to make it super fast and optimized and small. Thank you very much for your spacing feedback. What device are you using to browse? I could try making the column a bit more wider and more spacing... It is a big tradeoff between information density and spacing. Maybe give it a try for a week and let me know if you get use to it? It will take a bit of getting use to, because the density is not like most other search engines. For example Kagi only has 1 column and a bunch of empty space on both sides. I will need to be thinking more about spacing... thank you!

  I had a similar thought to the previous commenter. Perhaps the overflow hints could take up half of the current width, which would allow for a slightly wider first and last column. That, along with with a gradient overlaid on the sides with overflow available, fading from white at the screen edge to transparent, may provide the visual affordance you’re seeking, and the de-emphasis that seems appropriate.

  I've used an iPhone 13 pro to try it out. I think just making the column on the right about half the width that it's right now would go a long way. It's just there to show me that I can swipe to the right, not to actually be readable. Right now it takes up to much space as an indicator, but too little to convey information. I think that's what's bothering me. I could probably get used to the main column being off-center pretty quickly, so it's really just the width of the right column.

It doesn't take up too much space on a foldable (Z fold 4)

  Ha, would like to try Swurl on that! Must look awesome on a big mobile screen!
