+Frank B. Subscriber² Share Posted November 25, 2009 Confirmed. The rumors about Google's redesign are true, and you can try it for yourself with a very simple method. 1. Go to Google.com. 2. Once it loads, enter this code into your web browser's URL address field: java script:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com"); There shouldn't be any http://google.com in front of that. Just that code. 3. Hit enter. 4. Reload the Google.com page and you will have access to the new user interface. Source: Gizmodo I tried it out. It works. Link to post Share on other sites
cabron Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have an error when I put it in the URL bar: Link to post Share on other sites
Yelreve Share Posted November 25, 2009 Works in IE8 but not firefox for me =/ Link to post Share on other sites
LOC Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2009 It's because there's a break in the code in the box up there between java and script and it needs to be one word. java script:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com"); is how it should come out properly, at least I hope it does. Yes, make sure you take out the space between JAVA and SCRIPT. Otherwise you'll error out. Link to post Share on other sites
+Frank B. Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 25, 2009 The IPB forum software insists on adding a line break between java and script. Remove that and it'll work. I tried it in IE 8, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Worked in all four of them. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeChipshop Member Share Posted November 25, 2009 Doesn't work for me. I presume this is because Google always reverts to .co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
Yelreve Share Posted November 25, 2009 Nope, it could be to do with the fact that it is 3.7 though... Link to post Share on other sites
MitchLeBlanc Share Posted November 25, 2009 You can force the .com locale by going to http://google.com/ncr Link to post Share on other sites
Damo R. Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2009 doesnt work for me because Google redirects to .co.uk Link to post Share on other sites
Ridlas Share Posted November 25, 2009 Worked for me in firefox. Heres the correct code: java script:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com"); Link to post Share on other sites
Yelreve Share Posted November 25, 2009 OK just tried it on Firefox 3.6 and it works so I think it is 3.7 related. Link to post Share on other sites
LOC Veteran Share Posted November 25, 2009 It works for me in every browser EXCEPT K-Meleon for some reason. Not sure why, but it does work in IE8, Safari, Chrome, FF, Opera etc etc. Not sure I like the deep blue color like that. But it's certainly speedy, amazing considering how fast Google is already.

MikeChipshop Member Share Posted November 25, 2009 You can force the .com locale by going to http://google.com/ncr Thanks for that, got on to .com but then it send me to an 'automated request error' page. after retrying it worked fine. Link to post Share on other sites
cabron Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Here is correct code: java script:void(document.cookie="PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53ZueXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com"); Edit: make sure "java script" is all together in order to work!

MikeChipshop Member Share Posted November 25, 2009 People stop posting 'this is the correct code' IPB will always add a space between Java and script rendering it not the correct code. Link to post Share on other sites
