Saw that some progress bars on youtube are now black. Has anyone else seen this? Saw this post about it http://www.reelseo.com/new-video-player/

Yep, I've seen AND used (!) it recently. Trying to find the video I saw it on..

Quite swish.

It's odd, most videos I see at work have the black bars and all videos which I see at home are the old default bars.

Both using latest version of Chrome.

My Google isn't like that.

Google quite often do AB testing for a month or two before rolling out UI changes like this.

My YT player is the same, and the google homepage is too, although it now has a black bar at the top for links to my google account and different search types.

I use black youtube on stylish, so haven't really noticed, but talking of youtube progress bars. Is there any way you can disable the auto hide feature on full screen?

Mine is the same as Spunkey's now:

Google images has been bugged for me for a few weeks, half the time if I click on advanced search options it doesn't do anything, and if I search for say "overclockers", it works fine, if I then type in something else like changing it to "overclockers uk" the search wont change.

I'm using Google Chrome as well :/

I get that every now and again. I think it's because the AJAX request which happens on every keypress hangs, and that prevents any further search results coming through. The only fix is to F5. Not major, but annoying.
