Google on the road to web standards?
Yes, their search results still use tables and font tags. BUT I noticed today that Google’s results have switched from being listed with <p> tags to using <div> tags! It’s definitely progress.
If you’re interested, I noticed this when one of my Greasemonkey scripts stopped working. My script will number the Google results, which I use to test SEO rankings. If you have Greasemonkey, and you’re interested, you can install Number Google Results here. It’s already updated to work with Google’s new format.
Feel free to use it or customize it, but it comes as-is without any support. If you do customize it, I’m interested to see what you’ve done!
