    :eek: So I just go on Google...and it's completely blank! (See Screenshot 1, first attachment)


    When I move my mouse, the rest of the stuff fades into place (See Screenshot 2, second attachment)

    It is minus it's buttons, so I guess this is some testing thing..but it looked mighty cool. It only happened to me out of everyone in my office (aren't I special? lol)

    Anyone else seeing this?? :)

    Including some links to the images so you can see in full detail:

    BTW: It says "Google Blank" in the search toolbar because I googled Google being blank (and got nothing, hence my post here) lol

    Wow that is strange. Maybe you were struck by the "Google Ghost"? No but seriously that is kind of strange, maybe its a browser issue?

    Nope its not a browser issue...

    you can see it at www.google.co.in

    Think they are customizing the page..

    Edit:Just noticed it.Clear all your cookies,cache etc and try...You may need to restart your browser...

    i also see it on google.com. i guess they are trying to look cool. i dont think it`s a problem, maybe they are going back in time 11 years ago and show us the simple search look.

    This just happened to me. If you clear your cookies, it goes back to normal.

    I never experienced this fading effect. You never know it could be a new look. :)

    I don't know why it happened. It could be Google installing cookies on users browsers for click through experimentation.

    About a month ago, I would make searches and the left side option bar would be there every single time. Then I cleared my cookies and it went away.

    Hasn't happened with me.
    Maybe an experiment for the caffeine update?
