    yeah and i fucking HATE it. looks like i clicked all the links already or something. thought i messed up my settings somehow. glad im not going crazy. it also seems to take an extra second or 2 to be able to start typing. so now it misses my first 2 or 3 letters when i start typing after i open my homepage. DISLIKE

    I don’t mind the different font and spacing, but visited links no longer appear in a different colour AT ALL. This is a serious shortcoming; I often perform the same search several times over the course of a day, so if I can’t tell which results I’ve already tried, I’m wasting a lot of time and bandwidth on opening them.
