Google Lost Touch with Users

Recently, Google made some major changes without giving user an option to use the old style.

I do not like their changes, mainly the bar on the left. It is duplicate of the bar on the top which I'm fine with.

Now, with the bar on the left, waste huge amount of space beneath it, I am forced to constantly scroll my browser horizontally to see the full content.

I'd rather to see ads fill that space. Then I know this is a decision driven by commercial interest.

Now, with those seemingly useless links which is neither good for me nor Google, I am completely puzzled.

How can I turn this sidebar off? Try a "GOOGLE SEARCH".

"Newer Version" of GMail does not like Firefox

It is hard to believe, but our old faithful Google is producing a newer version which is badder than the older version.

I am generally happy with Firefox. But after the "newer" version of GMail is out, I am forced to use IE more, because Firefox will crash on GMail before I can do anything. These are frequent places of crash:

- send a new email;
- browse trash or spam folder;
- close a tab with GMail;

After switch to the "older" version of GMail, the crash problem goes away immediately. Hopefully the next "newer" version of GMail will be a better one.
