Google looks weird!

[anonymous-user]

Haven't changed anything myself but Google looks very different in IE today! All kinds of options down the left hand side of the page, if i use FF or Chrome it looks like it always did. Any ideas? Google Checkout was reporting 404 error this morning too.......

You have a virus.

If it look similar to this

minus the garish blue buttons then it's ok, they're randomly using the new look for some people to test it, I have it at home but at work I get the old Google.

Can you elaborate? Google.com is fine. All the options of the left are Google options. Pic attached.

Looks like you've been given the new look Sajax suggested.

Yeah it's the new look.

I've had it for a couple of days now on my laptop, but not my PC. Which is odd as they both run the latest version of Chrome and are on the same network.

When I first saw it, I was like wtf! But as with most site changes you very quickly get used to it.

So what is going on? The pics above are from IE, FF & Chrome still look like the old version. Surely Google haven't done an update that only affects IE??!!

[Sajax]

They have no way of telling that you visiting with IE and you visiting with Chrome is the same person. Chances are if you cleared your cookies in your browser you'd get the old interface back.

Sorry Sajax for some reason i missed your post at the top! That explains it, not sure i like it, if there was one thing i liked about Google it was the unclutered look.
