New DuckDuckGo design

Re:New DuckDuckGo design by hngiszmo on Tuesday May 20, 2014 @11:10AM (#7772946)

The first time I saw that (so called) design I literally hit refresh 5 times to hopefully get that missing CSS file. Having all in just light grey and white doesn't really help finding anything quickly and why hide the path of the url onMouseOut is beyond me.

DDG is my search of choice and the pain induced yesterday is not enough to swap back to google but still, not happy at all :(

Try selecting the Classic theme in the side menu. It has blue/purple links, darker description text + full urls.

Thanks! That fixes a lot of my concerns. I hope they do some A/B testing cause I don't believe they win many friends with this contrast-free version.

Next time just do a hard refresh. Hold Shift + click the refresh button

not sure if it changed a thing. The classic theme helps a lot though.
