Ask HN: Anyone else seeing the new Google search results style?

Looks like ads no longer have a different background shading... instead there's a small "Ad" icon next to each main column ad and one "Ads" icon above the side ads. Not sure if this makes the sponsored results more or less obvious.

Also some other minor visual tweaks. Any thoughts? Guessing this is a gradual rollout...

Its kind of weird to hear people talk about ads. I have had adblock installed for so long I have totally forgot what ads are like on my lapotp. When I use other peoples computers/phones its totally alarming how much advertising there is on the web.

Can you post a picture for us that don't see ads?
