The interface of the Russian Google search has undergone "optimization"
In mid-September, I published the post of my concentrated discontent with the innovations that were implemented in the YouTube interface. Judging by the reaction of habrakhabrovchan, the vicissitudes of the optimatization of Google-controlled services is more than a painful phenomenon not only for me. Alas, the other day a new reason was revealed for the application of a hand to the forehead in vain attempts to comprehend the logical background of the next “improvement”. What is even more interesting, while the innovation is noticed only on google.ru - the American and, in particular, the Belarusian version of the service work with the “old” look.
Watching the vicissitudes of changes in Google usability in November 2012, YouTube in September of this year, and again in Google in October, lead me to just one thought. The company has a certain person lobbying for the desire to force users to make as many clicks as possible. It is clear that this is a fantasy, but I have no other options.

So, the coming week brought the complete removal of the usual top panel of the rapid transition to the various services of the giant. Her place was taken by the newly appeared button unit in the upper right corner.
Now access in one click - only to go to Google+, search for pictures and mail. For news, calendar, "cloud", etc. if you please do an extra click and call the opening set of service shortcuts.
And again - why “reward” us with these clicks is completely incomprehensible to me. Why it's not possible to customize the items on the panel to the left of the button (let's say I don't use Gmail at all) - again silence. Finally, what is the logic behind the fact that the Google+ and Gmail buttons are duplicated in the drop-down menu? And - yes, why in the drop-down list a “transfer” is made for the sake of three services - is it really that critical?
In the meantime, nothing has changed on google.com and google.by. Most likely, innovations will get to them in the near future. There is no explanation in the official Google blog - it’s clear that it’s more important for us to know that the “Forward with Google!” Program started in Tatarstan .
PS After just 10 minutes after the publication of google.by, it turned out to be “in trend.”
