October 11, 200916 yr Anyone else noticed Google's homepage now fades in on mousemove? What benefit does this give the user? To be honest I just find it really annoying and find myself waiting for the rest of the page to load :\ BenTheDesigner

October 11, 200916 yr I get the mouseover, really though I don't see anything annoying about it. In Firefox it work, make sure you go to a proper google homepage not using a search bar etc.. Tested in Chrome and Safari and nothing happens.

October 12, 200916 yr Author Seems to have disappeared now =S... Was in Firefox 3.5.3 on PC, didn't test on the Mac. I didn't see what added benefit users would receive, seems Google felt that way too haha. BenTheDesigner
October 13, 200916 yr Fades for me now in Firefox 3.5.3 BenTheDesigner, but wasn't yesterday.....strange...
October 30, 200916 yr Weird. If you type www.google.co.uk into the address bar (IE) and press Enter (i.e. don't touch the mouse at all) google.co.uk loads with a message below the search box that says "This space intentionally left blank". When you move the mouse, links and buttons then fade into view. Can't replicate the behaviour in Chrome or Firefox or when accessing www.google.com. WTF is that all about?? And more importantly, why do I even care??

November 2, 200916 yr Author Hi Apparently it's a new feature Google are integrating to make people aware they can just press Enter rather than clicking... Pointless, and it's not like they need to raise awareness... Don't really get it... Oh well. BenTheDesigner
