I hate the google 'fade in' and just found out how to kill it!

install a Greasemonkey script that disables the animation. The script requires Greasemonkey if you use Firefox and GreaseKit for Safari.

it took me 2 mins to do it.

works like a charm!

You have to wait for that crap to fade in before you use it. . .

the instant you move the mouse the shit appears. there's no waiting. unless you're planning on tabbing your way through the interweb

besides, I usually do the search in the browser and then from there click the relevant subthingiewhateverthefuck

when you go to google.com, does the top part fade in? if not, you probably have java turned off already. I just didn't want to turn mine off for everything, & this program lets me just turn it off for google.

not instantly when the initial site loads. it's like 2 seconds. I search equipment photos for people while I'm on th e phone w/them & don't have the extra bullshit time to spare.

you are not so busy that waiting an extra half second is causing a problem

it's new and you don't like it, admit it. has nothing to do with time or being busy. you just don't like the way it looks.

No, I hate waiting for stuff.

Not sure why developers of all types seem to think people like waiting.

A couple years back, Blizzard added a fade-in to the WoW login screen.

That same day, someone posted on the forums announcing that the three-second fade would result in $(some calculated amount) of lost playtime per year and demanded that their subscription fee be lowered accordingly.

They were serious.

Perhaps you need to relax a little.
