For me, the grey bar with the hamburger menu is nearly in the middle of the screen, and to the right is a large white space that isn't used for anything (I expected a preview to go there, but clicking news items opens them in a new window)

Front page: "secure HTTPS connections" would maybe be better than "secure HTTP connections", because HTTPS is the word one is scanning for in that context

EDIT: Chrome 40.0.2214.111 m on Windows 7, 1366x786 screen
