you can choose your own google background now - I think it just displays random images if you don't pick one.

How the shit do you turn it off? Can't find an option for it in preferences.

Edit- go to choose an image->editor's picks->scroll down to the bottom and choose white.
Brilliantly you can then not read the link text

You can get a Google (or Bing) toolbar for most browsers and never have to visit the main page again...

Funnily enough it tells you all about it if you click the link on the front on the google home page.

Or if you use Chrome you can search directly in the address bar or Firefox use the integrated search option.

I hate all the toolbars to add to your already crowded browser experience...

It's Singapore harbour and the background of the photo actually shows the flat where I used to live!

still don't really understand why anyone visits the google home page.

surely you just open a new tab, type search query, press enter?

When I open a new tab, I have it set to default to google.
