Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 4, 2010 Root Admin ID:261690 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I've used the Google home page for years now as my home page. It rarely changed except for the Logo which was okay.Recently though this year they just will not stop changing things. They keep altering stuff and making it more into some type of portal page instead of the great plain Jane search page it has been for years. I'm going to be forced to change my home page if they don't stop.Had to use AdBlocker tonight to block their new "background images" they've added without asking me if I wanted one.So it looks a little drab with the background image removed and the colors not setup for that, but it worked to remove the image.

noknojon Posted June 4, 2010 ID:261701 Share Posted June 4, 2010 At least that one has not got the 'prompt' for Google Chrome browser - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny1 Posted June 4, 2010 ID:261711 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I like having Google as a homepage as it often changes to show important dates like it did on March 14 for Albert Einstein's Birthday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 4, 2010 Author Root Admin ID:261783 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yes, I don't mind the Logo change but its the new features and automated script changes and settings changes they keep making that are annoying.Normally the logo change has no affect but even the recent one with PacMan upset a lot of people because it had sound tied to it as well.

mountaintree16 Posted June 5, 2010 ID:262064 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I agree, it is totally annoying Ron.I've mostly switched to Scroogle but I do use Google at least a once or twice a week still.@noknojonI only get the Chrome prompt if I use IE, at least that I've noticed.

exile360 Posted June 5, 2010 ID:262140 Share Posted June 5, 2010 You should be able to modify the background here (you'll need to log in). Just use a blank white image . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted June 5, 2010 Author Root Admin ID:262411 Share Posted June 5, 2010 That defeats the purpose as far as I'm concerned. I shouldn't have to logon and AdBlockPlus blocks it with no issue and Google has even corrected it and removed it by default now it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
