Overview
Google started as a research project in 1996 to crawl the internet and create a search engine. 18 years later, Google is now removing the last of the design left over from that era. The '90s-style underlined links have been removed from Google search results. It truly marks the end of an era of the web
We launched some pretty big design improvements for Search on mobile and tablet devices. Today we've carried over several of those changes to the desktop experience.
We've increased the size of result titles, removed the underlines, and evened out all the line heights. This improves readability and creates an overall cleaner look. We've also brought over our new ad labels from mobile, making the multi-device experience more consistent.
Improving consistency in design across platforms makes it easier for people to use Google Search across devices and it makes it easier for us to develop and ship improvements across the board.
