Google is testing a cleaner, leaner UI on Google.com
- equark 16y agoI've had this UI for days. It's definitely less of Google's typical 1990s retro style.
- bradmccarty 16y agoColor me jealous. I dig the changes. The dropdowns are handy.
- mbreese 16y agoI started seeing it yesterday, and I love it. Unfortunately, it's only on my work computer. My home laptop has yet to get the update. I'd like to see this style rolled out across all their apps.
- bradmccarty 16y agoOdd that, too. Are you using your same Google account on both computers?
- mbreese 16y agoYep... same account, same browser (Chrome), and both Macs.
- ck2 16y agoHow about rolling it back to about 2008 before they started copying Bing's look and feel. I finally turned off javascript for all google domains except gmail, cannot stand it anymore. ps. if you want to do the same, try YesScript plugin, much lighter than NoScript
- mda 16y agoCare to explain what exactly you can not stand anymore?
- MasterScrat 16y agoFor me it's the fact that 9 times out of 10 it just wastes time. I want to do a search for these keywords, I don't want suggestion, I don't want preview, I don't want a selection of related pictures, please get out of my way, thanks.
- caffogene 16y agoThese are all options which you can turn on/off.
- mike-cardwell 16y agoThe secure version at https://www.google.com/ https://www.google.com/ has less of the crap that the insecure version has, like the preview stuff. Alternatively, there's always https://ssl.scroogle.org/ https://ssl.scroogle.org/
- junkbit 16y agoYes encrypted.google.com is really fast, it even has google instant, but I had to turn it off as my default choice in chrome because it won't let you search images. Video and news work but not images.
- deno 16y agoHow is that “like Bing”? I just signed into Bing to test this and, well, this is how their topbar looks: http://s.deno.pl/bingbar http://s.deno.pl/bingbar If anything, it's Bing's topbar resembling Google Search rather than the other way around. And, mind you, Google started pushing their online profiles[1] some while ago—it was only a matter of time until they integrate it better with their main product.

- yanw 16y agoI approve, the nav-bar is in need of renovation.
- csulok 16y agoit still baffles me why that nav-bar isn't, why it doesn't populate with the services you use most often you.
- lopatamd 16y agopretty neat/cool .. cant wait :)
- pedrokost 16y agoWhile i like the change, I don't understand the choice for a drop down menu at the right side. Rolling over a button to read you name and email, a link to your profile (which I most probably will not find very useful ) and sign out button (which I want to be super easy to access) seems just adding complexity (both visual and behavioral), without improving anything. Apart from that, I hope that they will add an option to customize the links on the left side.
- yanw 16y agoYou can now enable multiple account sign-in, I guess this is for switching between them.
- adrianscott 16y agoi just tried google translate and the experience was dramatically less user-friendly than i recall
