Bring Back The Old Google News Design

19 days ago, Google launched a redesign for Google News. Many many many users absolutely hated the design. Last week, Google finally responded with a tweak to the design, giving people a way to show a second column.

But many still miss the basic old layout that they have grown to love.

If you are one of those, and if you use Firefox, you can download a greasemonkey script to get the told design back.

A Google News Help thread discusses the script, which can be viewed here and downloaded here. Note, this is not something Google put together, it is written by a third-party.

Hopefully that helps some of you who really hate the redesign.
