Curious - do people here view the Yahoo! Search Experience to be better or worse than Google Search?

This is kind of a moot point. If you read the article carefully, you'll notice that Yahoo will be bringing "a new, re-imagined Yahoo search experience to Firefox users in the U.S"

> "a new, re-imagined Yahoo search experience to Firefox users in the U.S"

I wonder if or how Yahoo's "re-imagined" search experience will be affected for non-Firefox users.

UPDATE: Yahoo's press release says their "clean, modern, and immersive search experience that will launch first to Firefox’s U.S. users in December and then to all Yahoo users in early 2015."

Interesting that Firefox users get it first. If they're clever (I think they are), that's a tactic to help Mozilla with user acquisition. (assuming the reimagined search experience is something that they can make people want to try)

That's just corporate non-sense. It will be Bing's results with a different stylesheet and different set of ads.

Actually it makes sense IMO. Current yahoo "stylesheet" and ads are freaking terrible. If they bring a clean UI with few or no ads this makes it way more useable.
