Google - full width

[sbk]

this reply is not directly on topic, but:

I've had recent trouble with google 'infinitely' reloading (while resisting my url cleanup filters).

by tedious luck a few years ago, i fixed this reloading problem somewhat on only images.google searches. But now http://www.google has (intermittently) begun the reloading problem, and I haven't yet fumbled upon a fix.

but I discovered that proxo's lynx useragent header filter causes Google to load a mid-2000s style page. much simpler and no reloading trouble. (lynx useragent is now in my user include-exclude for google urls)


so, returning to your topic: a more stable html+css is likely added benefit of the lynx layout. (google seems to change layout a few times a year, which *s-up your style fixes) (edit: I meant: frequently *s-up anyone's style fixes, which IME, refers to my style fixes.)

another benefit of this "old version" of google is that the searchphrase is in plain text below the search textbox, so you can select parts of the search phrase, and apply a bookmarklet.
