So now my google bookmark looks like: http://www.google.com/search?q=%0A You can also just add ?q=%0A to the end of the url and it will take you to a different google page that has no fade (It’s technically the default layout for after you search, just with no search parameters so there’s nothing returned).

(Someone at Google must have been drunk that day!!!). But, there IS a way to disable it!!!! Firstly, it only works in Firefox. Internet Explorer does not have this feature. If you do not have Firefox already, you can get it for free here: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/ Next, you need a Firefox add-on called Greasemonkey. You can get that here : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 Click on 'Add To Firefox'. When it's installed, close Firefox down and then re-start it. Finally, you need the Greasemonkey script that disables the fade. You can get that here : http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/63436 Click 'install' All done!!! Just like it was before :) No fade :) Google have now announced that this is now the norm for EVERYBODY!!! (Someone at Google must have been drunk that day!!!).

Just slows you down when need to click on the images link. The links were also better right above the search box. This feature is so annoying.

Shortly after Google began experimenting with this, I cleared my cookies and found a way to turn off the "fade." I'm sorry to see the company pushed ahead with it anyway. It's an unnecessary change that adds nothing to functionality and irritates a number of people. Frankly, the first time I saw the "fade," I thought that Google was broken or had been hit by a virus. An easy way to turn it off would be welcome. (The same is true of IE8's gray-out "domain highlighting," but that's another story altogether.)

The difference is that now it doesnt give you the option of convenience. Sure, 1 second doesn't seem like alot of time, but sometimes I'm in a rush I just want to click and go. Function > Form.
