I thought I’d play Google’s little game for myself. There are 13 separate security updates or security fixes between the current version of Apple’s browser and the version used by 92filmgeek. What’s the one phrase that all 10 new versions of Opera listed on that page has in common? Under New Features every one of them says: Stability and security enhancements. Google’s got a point – just take a look at the version history for Opera. We encourage everyone to make the free upgrade to modern browsers - they’re more secure and provide a better web experience overall.Īnd that, so far as I’ve discovered, was the first and last word on the subject from Google – a gentle push in the direction of less geriatric, more secure, technology.

The Google search page had seemingly gone back in time.Ī few minutes ago, Google's homepage reverted to the old version for me. A few days ago a user going by the moniker DJSigma noticed a fault and reported it on the Google product forum. It’s so famous and so familiar that when it changes, even a little, we tend to notice. The Google search home page is famously simple and, well, famous.
