Cleaner Google Homepage + Cookie Monster Doodle
Perhaps I have been slow on the uptake here, but the Google search homepage is elegantly simplified, until you move your mouse.
This morning when I arrived I saw Cookie Monster staring back at me, but also nothing other than the Google search input box:
Well I say it is less busy but Cookie Monster is certainly getting busy chewing his way through Google. Then once you move your mouse some Javascript fades in the missing clutter on the Google homepage that we have grown used to:
What do you think of the cleaner Google homepage? I love it (I am assuming when the monster is gone it will remain like this).
I took a look around and it seems to only give me the cleaner Google homepage in Firefox on google.com and google.co.za but not google.co.uk. Other browsers are displaying as they always have (except of course for Cookie Monster). The code doing the reveal in Firefox is using an event in the <html> tag:
<html onmousemove="google&&google.fade&&google.fade()">
