"The fade-in feature inhibits my ability to navigate to G-Mail, Google Maps, and other servicies as quuickly as I once did. It is quite annoying to see this feature forced on the users without an option to turn it off. Please disable it or make it optional"

"It's bloody annoying, turn it off."

"It is the dumbest thing ever. It is irritating and unless it gets fixed, I will stop using Google."

"The fade is annoying and has no benefit what so ever."

"amateur programming like having annoying flashing lights on a web site.Childish Distracting enough that I will not use it this way.I do hours of search everyday"

"really annoying to switch between google.ch and google.com, english or french, etc."

"Dislike this intensely; spent ages looking for a virus. Please let us opt out."
