It seems Google has been selecting me recently as a guinea pig for a new design:

(I know imageshack is a poor image host, but I'd rather not use personal accounts to link this image)

Anyone familiar with a way I can opt out, back to the old scheme?



I thought everyone was seeing this? I've been hearing tons of complaints from my room mates and friends, and former schoolmates. No one likes the damn sidebar.


Yeah; there was a bunch of HN discussion yesterday as well: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1327132


And here's Google's blog post about it: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/spring-metamorphosis-...


yeah! google has changed the design. ewveryone hates this change. :(

btw, here is the trick to get back the original layout: http://goo.gl/qzlL


I don’t and hardly anybody I know noticed (I asked).


You can use old design here http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all


Yeah! Now google is closer to the design of bing and yahoo!


LOL HN has been littered with tons of articles about this rolling out for like the last 3 days. Every official Google blog has mentioned it.

And you used imageshack. Wow.


Pointlessly mean comments aren’t tolerated here.


I've noticed you can't make mean comments that have a point either.


If "mean" is a tone, i.e. a manifestation of cruelty, then it's not well tolerated. Harsh when necessary seems to be.
