Google Finance RUINED!
« on: November 30, 2017, 09:19:51 PM »
If you were ever a user the new revamp feels like a sick joke. You can still get the old site for a little longer, just so you can see what you are going to be missing I guess.

Had to re-do my bookmark link, but for now it looks the same as before.  They don't seriously plan to disable this do they?  The new format was a cluster, I won't use it.

Looks about the same to me, too.

I used to much prefer finance.yahoo.com, but then yahoo redid the format of it and made it pretty crappy.  I still tend to use yahoo instead.

Brooke:
This is the way it used to look,(still available but for how long?) https://finance.google.com/finance?authuser=0&ei=dMwgWqm3BZCYjAHh6anQCA

and this is the new and "improved" https://www.google.com/search?stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAOPQeMSozC3w8sc9YSmpSWtOXmMU4RJyy8xLzEtO9UnMS8nMSw9ITE_lAQCCiJIYKAAAAA&q=finance&tbm=fin&hl=en#scso=uid_WiD2DQACgZsKY-dJRwEQ9A_0:0

The differences become more apparent if you search for some securities, a nice stack of your recent searchs appears on the left, you can check option chains, and then the charts are nicely interactive and show volume. The new version has an information to pixel ratio is approaching 0.

Do people with mobile devices actually want this? When I'm forced to use my phone to look up web pages, I get pissed off when it loads a gimped mobile version of the site, forcing me to click a box to load the desktop version.  I just don't get it.  The information density is garbage on the new page.

IT guys trying to justify their paycheck by "fixing a problem" that doesn't exist..

Now they will have work for another year, fixing what they messed up!
