If you feel Google’s new interface is awful, you can get old plain layout back from https://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0. Google has rolled out new layout to all the users around the globe, but for most of them it’s difficult to adjust to new interface. Though the new layout is much cleaner and gives you option to re-arrange the products in the menu, the older layout is much classier and easy to use with single click access to other products. With the older layout, you get back the black bar at top which lists most used services: Image search, Gmail, News and Maps. You also get a direct share box for Google+ which is absent in the new interface.
