Thanks for your debugging Morac!
We will release a patched version of 0.78 shortly to incorporate these fixes.

The leftnav thing is still hidden at times when streaming is on. I found that the whole hiding of “storageContainer” nodes is completely unnecessary so I just removed the following lines and it now works fine:

var n = storageContainer;
do {
while (n.nextSibling) {
n = n.nextSibling;
//if (n.style) n.style.display = ‘none’;
}
n = n.parentNode;
} while (n);

Thanks for working on this guys. Just wanted to check that whatever fix you come up with will be compatible with international versions of Google, specifically that we won’t lose the “pages from Australia” search when you take away the sidebar? They’ve moved it down there from where it was under the search bar, so simply disabling the left sidebar would take away that feature altogether. And is it possible to get it back on the main search page? It’s only available on the results page now.

Would it be possible to hide the new left column which google has added to search.

I believe this is just a case of setting visibility of that layer to none. I’d like to have this included in optimizegoogle so I don’t need to run another add-on that hides that as well!

Thanks guys

Suggestion for OtimizeGoogle

Would it be possible to include the function of rewriting links to
google cache, in such a way that only the httpS Text version would be
displayed?

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the link to make Google look like it was.
I did the modify in the about:config one keyword:url
from the address bar ok, great BUT when OG 0.78 is along with the new layout will this modify in about:config need to be changed? And I forgot to copy/paste what it was before I changed it. So if you think that modify will need to be changed, then let us know.
thanks
phil (in miami)

@Jim

thx for the links:) I’m not at all fan of google’s new code. Now my stylish has three layers of codes just for google services. It will be a mess to clean/trim this out. I also hope OptimizeG will fix this google misshaps:)

Here’s a the link for Google’s Classic Mode to get things back to normal… I’m not a fan of their new look… hopefully Optimize Google will update this or give us the option as well… when I use the link below it also fixes OptimizeGoogle links for other sites as well.

Also, if you use Google in the FireFox search bar and Classic Google back… go to About:Config and under keyword.url click on Modify and replace with this… http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=all#hl=all&source=hp&q=
