I hate it, seriously considering switching to another search engine

Intercom kPYS71 Jan 24, 2020

Lol

Facebook LJEu03 Jan 24, 2020

Tell us more, WHY do you hate it?

Snapchat DeepFaked Jan 24, 2020

Looks spammy, but yeah, what’s a credible alternative?

bing works

Hate it. You can use adblock or greasemonkey to opt out. Unfortunately not an option for employees

Fortinet dPni10 Jan 24, 2020

Google advertises to employees? And you can't use Adblock? That's crazy

Google gpoo Jan 24, 2020

We see the same pages and ads as all users I can use adblock but all Google domain pages bypass extensions for security reasons

Google yoyodynе Jan 24, 2020

It's crap

LinkedIn yFSV61 Jan 24, 2020

Time to use Microsoft Edge and Bing. Enough of the sneaky changes to dilute the experience and increase the ad revenue.

Google gpoo Jan 24, 2020

Lol Bing. No

Keller Williams lbmo27 Jan 24, 2020

Fuck bing.

Google देक्सटर Jan 24, 2020

Doesn't bother me at all.

Ironclad ⌐(ಠ۾ಠ)¬ Jan 24, 2020

Is that an ab test experiment or a new feature?

Google yoyodynе Jan 25, 2020

It was in a/b test for months, rolled out to 100% like 10 days ago

Google EIFY Jan 24, 2020

Personally the clutter bothers me more than the difficulty of distinguishing ads from non-ads

Google abczzz Jan 24, 2020

Honestly I like it. I think domains should be less emphasized, I like seeing the favicons. It also seems more easily scannable imo.

The Verge: Google is backtracking on its controversial desktop search results redesign. https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/24/21080424/google-search-result-ads-desktop-favicon-redesign-backtrack-controversial-experiment

Google yoyodynе Jan 25, 2020

"started experimenting with favicon removal" - lol, so now you can't tell the difference between ad and organic result at all? That was fast

Google kjm Jan 25, 2020

Actually looks good to me now. Stupid favicon gone for me today
