what were they thinking?!

if i need them big, i would need the results as big.

that’s why they invented the middle button scroller and the ctrl key. it’s all i need.

A bunch of BS. Maybe I don’t everyone around me to be able to read what I am searching from a mile away. This won’t attract more users if anything it will detract the current ones.

Youre going to stop using google over a font change? Really? Seems pretty unrealistic. Have fun with msn as your new home page lol

Such an un-necessary change to suit a minority of users. Choices are good, forcing HUGE fonts are bad. If like me, you don’t like the change, set your homepage to something else and just stop using GOOGLE.

They’ll finally get the hint when their ad revenue starts to drop.

The font is just so big and disturbing!
I totally agree with “George of the Jungle”: the large font really anoys me: I’m not blind!

Browers displaying different size fonts (control +/-) to their defined anoys me as much as people using windows not fully maximised!
I keep forgetting and trying to resize the font size to make the text smaller!

I’m going to write a small FF addon to save myself…

Typing into Goodle’s seachbox with the new font makes me feel like I’m shouting at myself.
