Reasons Why New Google Bar is A Good Idea:

The Black nav bar was annoying to users as it kept scrolling with the page took over the upper part of the page. Now that the new bar is displaying the menu in a drop-down way it is surely providing  more space to the page. Some users might still like the old user interface but it’s worth a try.
