Google testing their home page by removing top black navigation bar with an App icon on the right side. Its a new experiment so it’s not available for all the users. Its giving a new minimalistic interface to the home page.
As you see in the above image, there is a grid icon on the right side and when you click on the icon a pop-up will appear with some Google services such as Google+, Maps, Play Store, YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive Calendar and a link to other google services.
Please keep this in your mind, this experiment is only available at google.com and only for the English interface. A quick way to switch to the English/US interface is to visit google.com/ncr and follow the below instructions.
