Am I blind? Do I need everything four times the size?

Why does it still look the same in FireFox then?

What browsers does it actually look different in??

I like the larger font, but the buttons can f*ck off!! :lol:

"Although this is a very simple idea and an even simpler change, we're excited about it — because it symbolises our focus on search and because it makes our clean, minimalist homepage even easier and more fun to use" - Google

I hope you're all having more fun now :D :) :lol:

The tragic thing is I'm certain there'll have been a dozen meetings, with designers who'd have been ready to commit ritual suicide after the third, about the precise size of font and button to update to and the shade of blue to be used.
The poor bastards.

Yeah, but working at Google means the paychecks ought to make up for the suffering.

It does look more Windows like. I don't like it.

:evil:

I am using Bing more and more. How ironic is that. The video search on Bing is really quite good.

I think the font on the two buttons seems bigger than usual today. The rest of the fonts are as normal.
