Is there a way to deactive the new "fade" feature on Google?

I’m confused. Do you mean at Google.com? Seems the same to me.

@shilolo Yep. I think they might be sampling it in waves. I found this blog post about it.

Weird. I’ve tried it now twice with both Safari and Firefox, and the fade is absent. Is this an early Google April Fool’s joke?

@shilolo I certainly hope so. I absolutely hate this. Wanna trade computers? :^P

I have the fade happening here, too.. just checked. There doesn’t seem to be a way to turn it off, though. I checked search settings both logged out and in, and I can’t see anything related to the fade.

Here’s more information on this new feature. I don’t really mind it. Seems nice.

I’ve noticed this too, but blamed it on slow loading of the site because I only first noticed it today. If it’s permanent, I will be annoyed, but get used to it in less than a week.

I’ve noticed it for a while now, but I guess it was just them testing the variants mentioned in the article @TheCreative linked to.

It doesn’t bother me, but I don’t really understand the purpose.

I have it. I think it’s cool. There’s some info on it in their blog. I bet there’s a way to deactivate it – try posting in the new Google Help Group when they create it…

It only happens to me when I use I.E.
