The things Google does to annoy you

1. Google search

 

If you did a search on Google, you could quickly hit TAB and maneuver down the results and select the website of interest. If you press TAB today, you end up on Google+. Dear God, why?

 

2. Google search images

 

Why do everything have to be so fancy? Browsing through image results on Google is such a mess, and it's slow and clumsy. Why can't they just make things simple thus making it work flawlessly and smoothly?

 

3. YouTube

 

Why do I have to press k to pause the video? Isn't the spacebar good enough? Why do I have to click in the video window first in order to maneuver around in the video with the arrow keys?

I don't like their "We changed everything" approach when it comes to anything, they should just keep upgrading stuff on the go.

True, I just installed FF as well, so that I can switch browser should I see fit. Think I'll update this list as things pop up.

I changed my search engine on all machines to duckduckgo.com lately, because of one reason.

I liked to use zippyshare now and then and google changed the way they list stuff. They say they dont list piracy services high anymore.
But since that day when I search for something and put zippy on its end it does not even find anything on zippyshare anymore. That drives me mad and so I decided its time to deal with some other search engine. duckduckgo.com is okay so far.

 

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ummm.... Random shutdown, "Your preferences could not be saved" Resets all settings and hides bookmarks bar... SERIOUSLY?

Assuming that they are responsible for the PS3 YouTube app, I wish they would add a button that allows me to change the quality of the video.

I shall second this... What in the hell is this guy talking about... The three things listed here is like miniscule to all the stuff we have to put up with.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Number 1

They USED to have a bar at the top for navigating from web search to images etc

And one of those options was YOUTUBE (for a short period of time)

 

I could search for something, and if I wanted to look at videos of that search I click the youtube button and it would take me to the search results within youtube.

These days it says 'videos'.

The video search function on youtube is 100x better than the google video search function.

 

Number 2

Searching an image by aspect ratio

wide, tall, square, panoramic are not what we call aspect ratio (image shape maybe?)

I want to search 21:9 or 16:9, 16:10 image etc

What if there's an awesome 16:9 wallpaper image that's larger than 1080p and smaller than 2160p?

 

There were a lot more but I can't remember at this point in time.
