Why can't Google fix their frontpage?
Google's frontpage displays an unformatted message for a few seconds/milliseconds on the top left:
"Get to Google faster. Update your default search engine."

- ljk 12y agois anyone else getting a thumbnail-sized pic?
- monroepe 12y agoProbably because you are using an old version of IE.
- LanceHaynie 12y agoI agree, I have never seen that before.
- frik 12y agoIs an up-to-date IE11 old? Is Windows 7 already considered old? I have seen this bug on dozens of Windows 7 PCs IE9, IE10 and IE11. Sometimes it's only visible for a few milliseconds sometimes it is visible for 1-2 seconds. Most probably just don't notice the quick flash of a message text.
- monroepe 12y agoWow. I really thought that screen shot was from IE8 or IE9. I didn't know they still had their back and forward arrows like that. It looks so bad in my opinion. I had to downgrade to IE9 at work for certain tasks and mine looks the same. Normally I just use Chrome though.
- frik 12y agoIt's an optional setting (right-click in the area next to the address bar to change it). I just prefer it that way, as I use IE since IE4 on Win95. Though, I am pretty pissed with the upcoming "Edge" and will probably switch to Firefox or Chrome.
- DanBC 12y agoWhat happens if you click "no thanks"? (I don't think you should have to. I think Google should be honoring whatever you have set in your browser.)
- breakingcups 11y agoIt will not show you that bar anymore.
- MalcolmDiggs 12y agoThat's not the only weird part. The bottom of the second "g" in google is overlapping the search bar. I think there must be something weird with the way IE is interpreting the CSS...very odd.
- hobarrera 12y agoWhat browser is that? Don't they show an ad from Google Chrome on all non-chromium browsers? Or, you could just use http://ddg.gg/ http://ddg.gg/
