It'...I am switching to Bing until this changes. It's an arbitrary and capricious decision that affects millions of people adversely. The black bar is a big bar of BAD! If only the fine folks at google would take a lesson from the Society for Technical Communication. Please see the rationale following: A characteristic of<br />the display that is merely an annoyance to a normal reader may cause the same display to be completely unusable by someone with reduced vision. Such visual impairments are a common problem. More than 100 million Americans wear corrective lenses (i.e., contact lenses or eyeglasses) and one out of every twenty<br />Americans suffers from a reduced vision problem (Stoto,Behrens, & Rosemont, 1990). Moreover, it is possiblethat careful choices during the design process can enhance the effectiveness of the electronic document for many reduced vision readers. Additionally, text legibility is highly important to reduced vision readers<br />because difficulty in reading often is the first, or most severe, result of their vision loss. Therefore, designers of electronic displays must make accessibility the first<br />challenge in the design of on–screen text or a user interface. See article by Gloria A.
