Google is freaking out on me!
« on: September 10, 2009, 06:44:42 pm »
The text box for the google main page just got a whole lot bigger, and I don't know why! Everything else is the same size, and I can't seem to coax it into going back to small-size like it was before!

Ohhh, okay.  I thought I was going crazy, or Firefox was having issues.  Phew.

You might wanna try Ctrl + Minus? :P

It happened right after Firefox spontaneously decided it needed to update itself. I blamed Firefox.

NOT Firefox!

This documents what has happened.

Here is a Help Forum thread that also asks about it:

As you can see, people are complaining more directly.

Guys none of you really use google right? I will admit I use it once and awhile, but I shouldn't and nor should you. The fact of the matter is google tracks and stores everything you ever search on the internet and all of the websites you have ever been too. That is why they are trying to control the internet. They bought out youtube, and they even have their own browser now.

In the future employers could use that against you.

You're totally right! Imagine what my future employer would think of my search history of words I can't figure out how to spell, pictures I am posting just for fun, and sites that help me cheat at games! The horror!
