It has all been put under the Apps icon. Clicking on it will bring up links to some of the more popular applications and then a “more” option for the ones that are not on the short list.
It is pretty much forcing you into Google+. That is the goal.
And the Google Drive is missing as well – especially troublesome at my workplace. :(
I need my Google Docs!
There has apparently been several different Google homepages for quite awhile. I sometimes get the one that has my theme choice, and other times a plain white one with just a search box on it and the other choices across a bar on top.
I keep getting a blue banner telling me to make Google my homepage, even though it has been for 4 years.
It’s a perfect nuisance. They keep burying pages I need at one click (like Google Scholar) under layers of menus, forcing me to bookmark them all. I detest Google+, so this kind of cattle driving simply pushes me closer to ditching Google altogether.
Hated it at first. Love it now. All the apps are under the checkerboard top right. My only problem is that app chooser isn’t on all the linked apps. Wish it was.
Easy to get my drive, and the news page is laid out really nice, google spartan style.
Yahoo must be pissed!
My theme page has gone (Lost forever)
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Thanks for that info! Didn’t realize that little checkerboard would be so helpful – yay, I can easily get to my Drive!
It would be more popular if it was more consistent. I don’t like to many changes. They need to figure something out and stick to it.
I just idscovered that with IE8, there is no change. The change is if you are using IE9. Good thing.
