August1991 Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 Am I the only person who finds Google increasingly irritating? I don't want/need the blue bar with the invitation to share with Google+. I didn't like the +1 links. More pertinently, I find that its search results are increasingly crappy if there is anything commercial involved. Google News is good though. ---- What search engines do you use? Quote

Google News is good though. ---- What search engines do you use? I use Google almost exclusively and yes, it is starting to get annoying with all the new "features" and "enhancements." One I especially loathe is the suggestions on the search while I am typing in the terms. It is pain to have to turn features off when they were given without me asking for them in the first place. But compared to everything else they have, I'll turn stuff off. I am an Android, Google Docs, gmail and now Chrome user. Have you tried Internet Explorer 9 yet? I installed the 64 bit version the other day and after about 30 minutes I immediately installed Chrome. IE9 blows! Quote

I generally use IE9 32 bit. Quote

I won't use it, so I just ignore it.The problem is that you can't ignore it.In a similar way, Facebook has infiltrated its way into other websites/forums. ----- To understand the problem, imagine if MLF was linked to your email and all of your posts here were sent to your email contacts.
