How To Activate The New Google Bar
Google announced that in the coming days will disappear their horizontal black bar on top with links, making it a drop down menu. If you’d like to try to interface now, you can edit your Google cookie and use some values that trigger the new UI.
If you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer 8+, open google.com in a new tab, load Chrome’s JavaScript console (Ctrl+Shift+J), Firefox’s Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K), Safari’s Web Inspector or IE’s Developer Tools (press F12 & select the “console” tab) and paste the below code:
document.cookie=”PREF=ID=03fd476a699d6487:U=88e8716486ff1e5d:FF=0:LD=en:CR=2:TM=1322688084:LM=1322688085:S=McEsyvcXKMiVfGds; path=/; domain=.google.com”;window.location.reload();
Then press Enter and close the console. If you’re not in the US and you’re using a different Google domain, replace “.google.com” with your domain in the code (for example: “.google.co.in” in India). Please note that this only works for the English interface.
So give it a try if you can’t wait for the new Google bar.
