Google seems more restrictive

I just ran an image search and at first I was impressed with the new link and size properties showing but for some odd reason it feels more restrictive.

It's not just google but youtube also feels different. I'm not simply talking about the layout (which btw is utter crap, who the hell centers a page to the left?! ) but it is as if some results from previous searches (say wow naxx soundtrack) falls by the way side and you don't end up getting to the same page twice.

Did google change their search policy? And security aspect are they perhapes infesting my pc with spyware/malware?

Wait, what? This post sense it makes not... :?

I especially like the way you start off complaining about it being more restrictive but then end with a spyware/malware question... :? How the hell did you get to that... :?

I know I don't make sense 110% of the time but try to bare with it :P

The image search bothered me at first but I did a few searches that I commonly searched for and found the new method to actually be better.

On the spyware/malware front I can blame Path of Exile. Was about to create an account when I saw they reserve to right to track the sites I visit. Obviously if my PC was gaming the only thing I would have been worried about was my forum passwords but I don't just play game or post crap on forums the whole day. That kinda led me to think last night combined with the new search method if google isnt tracking more than just my searches.
