Google Updates...

[ProxRocks]

correct, only with the 'tight blue' theme...

the installation procedure is the same as posted above (disable the NavBar filter, replace the one Alternate Display filter with the two posted here, add the Google Preview user-js)...

first-time users will also need to add the html files, but "repeat customers" will already have them in place...


the video results really needs tweaked, just haven't gotten around to it yet...

[ProxRocks]

90% of my browsing is done via GreenBrowser "shelling" IE8...
Opera and ChromePlus are used every once in a while...

i've recently been "experimenting" with Lunascape, ChromePlus, Maxthon, and Sleipnir to get some Webkit and Gecko exposure...


which brings me around to the Google 'tight blue' theme -
oddly, GreenBrowser will render the theme perfectly, but Lunascape, Maxthon, and Sleipnir, although still "shelling" the same IE8, don't render the theme correctly (upper right corner "search button")...

undoubtedly an "acid3" failure, but still strange that GreenBrowser "corrects" the render-mishap when the other "shells" do not...


so i guess i'd like to get a feel for what browser-of-choice people are using with the 'tight blue' theme... or more importantly, did the theme mess up in your browser and you'd like to see the theme corrected for a certain browser?...

Seems to work ok in Opera (10.01) here.

Google has made a change or two, I plan to have an update to the Google "tight light blue" theme in the next day or two...

Bring it on

[ProxRocks]

not forgotten...

guessin' tomorrow or saturday...
now fully tested in IE8, GreenBrowser, Sleipnir, Maxthon, Opera, Iron, Chrome, Chromium, Pale Moon, Flock (officially "dead", but haven't uninstalled yet), Firefox, Safari, SeaMonkey, Avant, SlimBrowser, and Lunascape...

i know i only need three or four to test all "engines", i've just been having fun runnin' 'em all for a few days...

[ProxRocks]

looks like tomorrow...
i'm making changes that now don't create half-ssl search results out of https results when the user doesn't have half-ssl set as default...

Thanks. But...
don't you have anything better to do over the weekend?

[ProxRocks]

of course... i'm also dropping the bell housing and 4spd transmission out of a '61 Studebaker Hawk so that i can replace the ring gear... basically, the ENTIRE "drive train" needs to come out just to "get to" the ring gear / flywheel... EVERYTHING between the "engine" and the rear axel needs to come out...


here's an interim release, so to speak...

"added" - 'children' results (those indented from 'parent') now have their own background color and the indent is decreased... so now the "alternate display" has FOUR colors

"added" - the filters now defuse Google's URL tracking (Google adding a new tracker is what broke the filters)... technically, sidki's URL untangler took them back out anyway, but the "preview" function was broke and required taking the tracker out as part of the filter itself (ie, "Part 1")...

"added" - "top domain" is 'hidden' as a mouse-over link 'between' the search result link and the "new window" link (actually, i had 'hidden' links here with the old version also... for this release, i needed to open up some Proxo stack variables and i couldn't get the top-domain method originally used by sidki to still function properly (ie, where the top-domain "arrow image" only shows up when the search result is not top-domain))...


"to do" - still wanting to make the "images for" results when doing a web search open the image itself, without Google's d@mn "iframe", open in our own "iframe", right there in the web search results page... "videos for" and "news for" need work also... all three kinda suck "as is", just hasn't been exactly high-priority compared to the web results... i intend to shrink the thumbnails also...

at this point, ONLY tested in GreenBrowser...

don't forget to KEEP the ". + Google Tight Light Blue Theme 11.11.12 {PFR} [add]" filter enabled, it didn't need updated, just the 2-part that is now 3-part...

No wonder you take such good care of them

now "functional" in Opera and Firefox...
full-width display needs tweaked yet, but at least now it "works" for Opera and Firefox (most likely in Chrome/Chromioum/Iron, just have not made it that far into testing yet)...

on second thought, i'm abandoning Opera/Firefox/Chrome testing...
i use GreenBrowser 99.9% of the time and never Google-search from them anyway because of their built-in Google-search search-bar URL add-in crap (which can be removed with Proxo, of course)...

there doesn't seem to be a large enough user-base for me to really concern myself with the alt-dis filters not working as well in browsers that i seldom use anyway - and don't use for Google-searching when i do use them...

if there were a dozen or two users specifically requesting non-IE support, that would be a different story...

easily delete any url crap in opera, kmeleon, firefox, seamonkey, and ie.
opera. Tools>Preferences, Search tab, choose search engine, Edit... button, delete url crap. "OK" back out.
firefox or seamonkey. shutdown browser. open searchplugins folder in program folder and or in profile. edit xml file to remove auto suggest, url crap, etc.
kmeleon. Edit>Preferences, +Browsing, Finding Websites, Search Engines tab. choose search engine, Edit... button, clean crap. "OK" back out.
Or edit %Appdata%\Profile\YourProfileFolder\search.xml
ie8 (ie7? any ie-based such as greenbrowser?) find SearchScopes in registry. clean crap from the values.

---

I use some filters to clean crap from hidden search inputs, on google web pages.
My filters are higgledy piggledy mess, but these are the crap that i've seen. Some older crap aren't here, and some here may be obsolete.

Code:

aq|aqi|aql|bi[hw]|BtnG|cd|client|complete|ct|ctab|emb|ei|gbv|gl|gs|gs_rfai|hl|hs|ie|lnav|lnk|lr|nojs|oe|oi|output|oq|prev|prmd|projectsearch|qt_(g|s|i|n)|rct|resnum|revid|rls|sa|sclient|sei|show|source|sourceid|so|spell|src|sugg|svnum|tab|tabindex|um|usg|ved|www_google_domain

But already I see I could rewrite those as

Code:

aq|aq[il]|bi[hw]|BtnG|cd|client|complete|ct|ctab|emb|ei|gbv|gl|gs|gs_rfai|hl|hs|ie|lnav|lnk|lr|nojs|o[ei]|output|oq|prev|prmd|projectsearch|qt_[gins]|rct|resnum|revid|rls|sa|sclient|sei|show|source|sourceid|so|spell|src|sugg|svnum|tab|tabindex|um|usg|ved|www_google_domain

By the way, which part of your filter does "full-width display"? is that the same as opera's "fit to width"?

agreed, the crap "can" be removed, but my primary point was the whole "forcing" of users to jump through some MAJOR HOOPS... editing an xml file is retarded...

GreenBrowser's default search box, for a search for "proxomitron", takes you to "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=proxomitron"...

whoala, clean, precise, no BUILT-IN TRACKERS defined by DEFAULT...

i'm fine with the HOOPS, i do just feel quite strongly that THEY SHOULD NOT BE THERE

what's wrong with a nice CLEAN "default" search query and then use the USER-AGENT for that tracking-crap... i'm not "against" Google getting a "revenue stream" from built-in search bars, but if MICROSOFT did what GOOGLE is doing (built-in revenue-stream tracking), MICROSOFT would be sued by every tom, dick, and harry out there for "monopolistic practices"...

edit: what "justification" is there for Google KNOWING what BROWSER is doing the search? "oh, we can't let him FIND what he's searching for, he's using Firefox and we only make search-finds "easier" for users of our own CHROME browser, he will have to scroll down to page six to find what a CHROME browser would show him on page one"...


"ideologies" aside, lol...



the attached is what i mean by "full-width", not referring to 'fit to width'...

edit: ie, the blue-background search result spans the full width, minus a SMALL margin to the left and right... as opposed to narrowing down the search results so that they fit on a TELEPHONE screen as opposed to a widescreen LCD screen, for example...
