A change for the better?

Anyone using Google today may have noticed some changes to the layout of the infamously sparce homepage.

The Google UK homepage has in fact been changed so that it is now the same as the American homepage.

The main difference is the quick links to popular search options, such as "Images" and "News" are now to be found at the top left of the page rather than directly over the search box.

A Google UK source, who wished to remain unnamed, confirmed to Pocket-lint that these design changes are in fact permanent.

These changes are now being rolled out for good in the UK, in order to improve the user experience, our source unofficially confirmed.
