Also, that preview window thing you get when you click in the description text.
Personally, it annoys the hell out of me because I'm a compulsive clicker and I really wish there was some way to turn it off permanently but it's definitely another example of a change made to core search.

- smokinn 16y agoThe gp's post was about risk, not innovation. The path Google is going down now (adding more features and bloat into their results) is risky because a lot of the population likes how simple and easy to use Google is. The more features they add, the more confusing it gets and if someone comes along with a much simpler interface and a new idea that gives better results they're in trouble. Bing innovating on features is good for Bing because it differentiates them. Google copying those features is risky because it diverges from the simplicity they're famous for and makes them look like they're playing catch-up.
- code_duck 16y agoSure, but in that case it's worth pointing out that Google had Google before MS changed their search engine to be as similar to Google's as possible.
- crowsfan85 16y agoYeah, me too. Hate those popups. To remove: (1) download Stylish add-on for chrome or firefox, (2) add CSS style below #vspb, button.ws, button.vspib { display: none !important } .vspi { background: none !important; border: none !important }
