The website All Google Testing reported today that Yahoo is experimenting with a new user interface.

The report claimed Yahoo’s experimental interface mirrors that of Google’s interface for tablets. All Google Testing offered up directions to view the Yahoo test page, but you’ll have to have better developer chops than me to find it.

Here’s a quick set of directions from All Google Testing to view the test:

Go to Yahoo.com and load your browser’s developer console.
Copy and paste the following code: document.cookie=”B=3h2i3vt9vrhnk&b=3&s=3u; path=/; domain=.yahoo.com”;window.location.reload();
Press ‘Enter’ and refresh page to see the experiment.

If this doesn’t work, the report offered an alternative set of directions. Of course, the quickest way to view Yahoo’s experimental layout is by watching the following All Google Testing video:
