Yeah, the white lettering makes it very hard to read.
Why is Google trying so hard to be more like Bing? The backgrounds are just visual noise getting in the way of what I want my search engine to get done for me.
- xtacy 16y agoHow many of you actually go to the Google homepage to search? With Chrome/Chromium, just type on the address bar; for Firefox have shortcut prefixes. (like "g hacker news" searches for "hacker news".)
- sahaj 16y agoi think this is exactly why the change to google.com was made. it only appeals to the people who have set their homepage to google.com.
- ericd 16y agoAh interesting theory - it's a sort of product segmentation at work. I could buy that.
- mightybyte 16y agoI use it almost exclusively. I've never liked using the address bar or search bar. It just feels wrong for some reason.
- megamark16 16y agoFor me it's habit. I click on the address bar, I type "go" and chrome fills in the rest, than I hit enter and do my stuff. It's muscle memory. I set Duck Duck Go as my primary browser search engine a long time ago but still habitually type "go" and use google. This change should be all I need to remember to type "du" instead of "go".
