Google Tests Colored Dots Instead Of Colored Line Breaks

Google is constantly testing different user interfaces, and as I covered yesterday at Search Engine Land based on a tip from Abramov in Almaty City, Kazakhstan - Google is testing a new mobile UI.

The new user interface drops the colored line breaks that Google tested and took live, with four Googley colored dots at the bottom right corner of the search result snippet.

Here is a picture:

Here is the line breaks version:

I kind of like this new more simplicity look over the line breaks.

Clicking the the blue dots does not do anything special. I guess it is just a stylistic thing.

Do you like the line breaks or the dots?
