For me it was the straw that broke the camel's back. When this change went live I decided to switch to DDG and it's been a great experience. Search results are, in my opinion, more relevant and generally of better quality. I wish I would have switched sooner!
Can you also tell Google to fix the image search page? The new design is stupid. I prefer the previous design. The new design splits the page vertically, when you click on a picture. And its purpose, which is quite confusing, is to follow a second track of searches related to that picture. But that just makes the usage confusing. I want to click on the picture in order to see it in magnification mode, to have it fill…
for every such blunder that a major company does, i want to know what promotion/bonus someone "earned". For example this recent redesign of paypal: https://i.imgur.com/T7Rj3Tq.png

What's much worse is they removed the precise and custom image size search. It's now impossible to search for a 32x32 icon or a 3200x1800 wallpaper. This dumbing down and feature removal is sad and silly.
You can add "imagesize:32x32" to your search query to only show images of a desired size, but I'd still rather see Google bring back the search tool option.

Looks like the stylesheet failed to load. (On a lot of websites these days I actually find that improves user experience!)
its probably a blunder that they ll fix soon, but one would expect much better from billion dollar companies
It's too late, lasting damage has been done. This redesign made me seriously look at DDG and I'm impressed with what I found.

In the early 2000s we called this "Jumping the Shark"
"Pulling a MySpace" means messing up your product so badly that your users abandon ship. "Jumping the Shark" means taking your story to such incredible heights that it becomes unbelievable. Not the same thing.
Nothing to do with being believable. More to do with being gimmicky and irrelevant.
Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22107823 Does this mean they'll also "backtrack" on their destruction of the URL? I was extremely disturbed and horrified when I realised that not only did they replace / with >, but also seemed to arbitrarily remove and rewrite pieces of URLs shown in the results (e.g. all articles from HM would show nothing more than "news.ycombinator.com > item", which was…
#1 What does Google want the web to look like? Look at Google News.
#2 Google gets to hijack 20%~ of the screen space to get users to install their own apps, and go back to Google, not onward to the publisher's own website.
#3 Removing the URL is the final disambiguation, where no one but the most technical users can go where they want.
