Amusingly my work around for googlesUX problems is to keep a ooold coppy of FireFox (or IEE) on hand old as in version 20 or V4 old. Old enough to to not have support for HTML 5 such that it reverts to HTML4 with PHP. It works with youtube, and used to work for Gmail. I haven't tested with googlemaps. Frankly to say that I don't like googles (in my opnionion) EPICLY, Fail UX's is a understatement. So I keep those ol' browsers around. Works with Safari+youtube as well to work around the asinine autostart (does nothing for the equally asinine adds though)- Though I'm glad others don't like the floating doodad in the middle of the screen.
Here's the 500doller a share question: Given googles "dubius" US choices of late: Where's the choice from $pple or M$?. It'd be nice to have more choices. Particularly when theoptions are complementary.For instance DropBox pairs very well with Gdrive. DropBox handles large vector files (kinda-sorta-better) for example. (SkyDrive is AWSOME for documents)- etc etc. On Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 3:24 PM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]> wrote: > The new google maps search bar is really making users furious: > > https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/maps/NOLldtaEO-c > Several simply changing to other mapping services. > > I haven't been able to make it go away either, and during travel planning > its been a serious problem. > > Anyone have a good way to minimize the google search bar and all its > extras? > > -- Owen > > > ============================================================ > FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv > Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College > to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com >
