I’m not surprised, they’re testing as they usually do with such things, mine is back to normal too.

It depends on the moves of your mouse pointer. On the first of my screenshots you can see a just opened Google.

I waited for some time and then I moved my mouse - the next screenshot.

I was one day watching Youtube and one day, the videos suddenly became super fast.

After a week or so, I went to Youtube.com and saw their new offering of the ‘Feather mode’

It is till beta

no, this is something else, that’s the fade in feature, nothing to do with the new logo I mentioned.

Thanks for confirming people^^

I always thought there was something wrong with my browser but this granted the answer^^

Hi posters in this thread,

This is as minimalistic as Google’s new design : http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm
and does not come with the normal Google privacy hick-ups, as there are: the localization, the ad-tracking, storing of your search history and other data etc. etc.
Because Google thinks that if you show the user a minimalistic search window, they will forget about that they sit on quite a pile of sensitive data and what other privacy-related issues that will go around that you are only slightly aware of.

And there is some choice in search-engines:

Not bling from Bing either.

Colour me confused I haven’t a clue what you are all talking about, I see nothing different other than Google Pack.

Google uses localisation and when you type in google.com it will detect where you are and redirect you to the localised google.co.uk in my case.

What I do notice is the Offer of the Google pack, certainly in the images of those in European localisations of google.
