Google Search page shifting to left? You aren't alone

If you’ve noticed Google Search results suddenly skewed to the left of your screen after logging in, you’re not imagining things—and you’re definitely not alone. Many users across various browsers, including Chrome and Firefox, have reported this peculiar display issue. The problem seems to occur after signing into a Google account, causing the familiar centered search page layout to shift noticeably to the left.

Several users have taken to platforms like Reddit to voice their concerns, with some noting that the issue only appears when logged into specific Google accounts. One Reddit user, expressed frustration after trying multiple troubleshooting steps, such as resetting Chrome and removing all extensions, only to find the problem persisted. Others, shared their relief at discovering they weren’t the only ones dealing with the odd display bug. Here’s a screenshot shared by a user for reference:

However, I could not replicate the issue on a Mac on three different browsers, Chrome, Arc, and Safari. So, what’s going on?

While Google has yet to officially address the issue, some users speculate this might be part of an A/B test—where companies try out new designs or layouts on a subset of users to gauge reactions before a wider rollout.

Several users have noted that the problem doesn’t occur when logged out of their Google accounts, leading others to believe it might be an unintended bug rather than an experimental feature. One Redditor reported that switching between different Google accounts produced inconsistent results—some accounts displayed the search page normally, while others experienced the leftward shift.

Whether it’s an intentional tweak or a temporary glitch, the shift in Google’s search page layout has left many users puzzled. If you’re among those affected, rest assured that you’re not alone. In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for any potential fixes and will update the post if there’s something worth sharing.
