GOOGLE's Fade in is FUCKING ANNOYING - a few ways round it - GoFuckYourself.com

CunningStunt · 12-09-2009, 01:54 AM

1. One blunt solution - use this as your google homepage: http://www.google.com/firefox

2. Use firefox (seems to work right off the bat, otherwise install this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/63436)

3. Google sort their fucking homepage out. I bet there are less than 1% of web professionals who have fade effects on in windows or any other applications, it wastes time and is irritating.

WTF are they thinking?

VikingMan · 12-09-2009, 01:58 AM

Yeah I was going to post about the same issue. Very strange that the people at google thought that was somehow a good idea.

garce · 12-09-2009, 02:05 AM

Thanks for the tip. I can't stand the bloody fade in.

CunningStunt · 12-09-2009, 03:04 AM

I should have stated: 1. is for IE.

Nice desktop Persius. Looks like Thailand to me. Where is it?

Max_PuZcash · 12-09-2009, 03:21 AM

CunningStunt · 12-09-2009, 02:31 PM

Thx Persius.

Any better solutions for IE?

Semi-Retired-Dave · 12-09-2009, 02:39 PM

So funny you say this. I hate the fading.

cLin · 12-09-2009, 02:40 PM

Whoa! When did this fade in come in? I usually use the keyword box or type in my search in the address box so I rarely go to the front page.

Scott McD · 12-09-2009, 02:42 PM

Yeah been pissing me off too.

What's the purpose of it ??

seeandsee · 12-09-2009, 02:47 PM

i agree stupid !

u-Bob · 12-09-2009, 04:40 PM

yeah, one of the most useless (and annoying) things they've ever done....

_Richard_ · 12-09-2009, 04:48 PM

slapass · 12-09-2009, 05:21 PM

i use firefox so never noticed until today. mcdonalds in brazil does not support firefox so I had to open ie. I just thought the internet was slow as google loaded funny.

12-09-2009, 05:24 PM

Didn't notice it until this thread, I search straight from my address bar.

I'm guessing it's to make their search form look even more minimalist.

Argos88 · 12-09-2009, 06:30 PM

this and the recent NEWS LIVE Search are really bothering..

also, takes a lot of ram and resources.. two very bad ideas.. wondering if they changed the "new ideas apartment staff" on mountain view.

greetings.

1. One blunt solution - step away from the computer. if this pisses you off you are losing perspective with what it means to be human.

woj · 12-09-2009, 08:54 PM

Here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

Install that then in tools> add-ons > user styles > write a new style

Go here: http://userstyles.org/styles/1693(copy paste that code in there)

Then if you want a Gray Logo Replacement

go here: http://userstyles.org/styles/1695 (copy paste code in a new style on your firefox)

CunningStunt · 12-10-2009, 02:09 AM

That's uncanny Persius, we have exactly the same setup, what are the odds?

Iron Fist · 12-10-2009, 02:37 AM

It does the same thing in firefox on their MAIN homepage... no script will kill that shit dead if you disallow google.com

or you can just to go the firefox start page instead, which was mentioned earlier.

nico-t · 12-10-2009, 03:21 AM

i agree it is a little annoying... definately not an improvement
