Suddenly now when I type in Google, the link for the website is underneath the title, and above the info, not below the title where cached and similar is.
Is there any way to change this, it is very strange to look at?
Hahah thanks

Yeah, I have noticed that too, probably because they added +1 button, I also have a black google toolbar now, probably also related to that Google+ thingy.
EDIT: By the way, if you use SSL version, URL is still bellow. https://encrypted.google.com

Black toolbar change is due to Google+ (which is great btw).

I like that they move the url. It seems easier to see. Don't care for the new black though. You can kill the whole bar with the Firefox add-on Remove It Permanently. If you need any of the links, you can open and bookmark first. Then kill and you're good to go. :)

I don't find it that bad myself.

While I'm not sure this is on-topic for this thread, those of you that have been watching closely as Google+ develops you may me interested in reading

Not true. I have all of my information except for name/ gender blocked.
Though there's nothing people can see on my Google+ that they can't see on my Facebook.
