Google is driving me nuts with its Chrome and Image search

[oneway]

Google has gone insane with all its flash based chrome junk...

Does anyone know a way to turn off all that junk and just go back to plain html version ?

Less is more.

Garbage "improvement."

I personally like the new image search, more images easily visible by scrolling.

The thumbnail pop up junk is driving me crazy (crazier...I am already crazy as a loon)...

What really ticked me off was today's absolutely ridiculous dancing dots Logo thing that reminded me of a Twister Game sheet after too many cocktails...

Please...

Do we really need spiraling circles that eventually coalesce into a search engine logo just to use that engine....

Distracting and stupid beyond belief....

At least the Google genius's could have at least planted a cookie called: OurStupidFlashLogoHasRunOnce. ...  then when you refresh the page you don't get the ACID trip spiraling and dancing dots again...

Google is beginning to remind me of those cars some people drive like early Monte Carlos that have 26" rims and truck nuts and vinyl and chrome and  bling and and spinner rims...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates it.  When you are looking through the images there's a link on the bottom of the page that says "Switch to basic version", click that for the old interface.

Oh dear god, thank you Tec. The damn thing was driving me insane. Google pulled off a massive fail with this.

But that only works for the current (ie immediate session)....

Stupid thing does not remember the setting...

I loaded a scripting engine into Firefox to kills the Image pop up thumbnail I am from Las Vegas - Just in from Mardi Gras Google Junk...

Still haven't found a script to kill the flash and java animations on the home page they seem so certain the public wants...

Potential Quote of the Day; "Why do you think they call it Google Chrome?"

The next thing I am expecting to see are dancing panda bears and "Spare the Air Day" warnings dashing in out with perfect fade precision...advising me that if I 'Que up a T-bone I will be destroying the planet....

Oh come on, so what if Google does something fun now and again?  Its not going to stay that way forever, and if you google hard enough I'm sure you can find a boring front end in the mean time.

I hate the new image search. Unfortunately there is no way to permanently switch to classic view until the the page loads the bottom buttons. It won't do that until it completely loads the first page. If you're not on broadband it can take over a minute to load. I've started using Yahoo for image searches.

When will companies learn that new and improved gizmos (like arena balancing) isn't always what the customer wants?

THANK YOU for this thread.....I though I was the only one.

I wouldn't be supprised oneway. All of this "we're killing the planet, but we can stop it if we reduce our carbon footprint" and the like. IMO, we're killing the planet because there's so damn many of us.


Honestly, I think we need to stop trying to cram so many functions into one program, search engine, or piece of hardware. Also, we should stop changing the shape of the one little chip that makes the new piece of tech different from the older one. If you're so concerned that you won't be albe to keep a 5th house in tahiti if you do that, then just charge more for the new chip.

Just found out that my new computer had only one different or upgraded component over my 9yr old one that recently died.

It sucks I know but better than nothing.  There is also a give us feedback link there as well, wouldn't hurt to send them a few lines about what you don't like about the new system.

Have any of you sent Google a problem report and told them how slow and crappy the new search is? Unless you let them know you don'y like it they will never make changes. I've sent several.
