For those checking google.com to see update, you might have to wait. It'll be rolled out gradually over the next couple of weeks. http://insidesearch.blogspot.ca/2013/09/updating-google-bar-... It would be nice to see that mentioned in the TechCrunch article, though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Weird. But c'mon... "hate it"? I think you'll get used to it. It's not really a big change in my book.
Well, I hate it :) I mean fine add this, but make the old version available as a config option or something. I really don't need a big google logo and a search bar every time I press cmd+t

You can also install another tab page as an extension. eg:

I like parts of this but don't understand the addition of the google search box in the new tab page. Isn't one of the big "innovations" of the chrome UI the unified address bar you can search from? I use chrome as my primary browser and every time I use firefox or IE the first thought that comes to mind when I open them is, "What's the point of the separate search box, why not search in the address bar like chrome?"…
A huge number of Chrome users go to google.com to search for things; if the new page looks like the Google search page, and it moves your cursor to the address bar, Google hopes these users will learn that you can just search from there. Maybe it's an experiment that will fail, but it seems like it might work.

This is also in my start page of chrome. Google's search bar is now also the main thing on my start page. And the thumbnails for my favourite pages are smaller and under it. I hate it. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? The thing is that this was already there a couple of months ago but it went away only to reappear two days ago. edit: image of what I'm talking about: http://i.minus.com/ibepLSMwuCsHra.png edit2…
Are you on an experimental version of Chrome? I mean, are you using Chrome, but a variant other than the stable one? I've sometimes found that they roll out crazy experiments in the non-stable Chrome builds that integrate with crazy features on Google's web sites, such as the "remove the search box from the web page"-feature. I've since come to prefer the stable variant of Chrome :)

I imagine that was a major consideration when designing this new bar, "How could it fit in on YouTube?"

In Firefox at least, I've learned that the regexp isn't as fast if you type a search query in the URL bar. It takes slightly longer for the browser to decide if the text is a URL or not. That's why I reenabled the search bar in Firefox (it's not required).
