Have your Google search results looked different lately?
Some users have reported seeing black links, instead of the familiar Google blue.
Given that only some users have seen the black links, it is likely to be a form of A/B testing, in which firms test potential changes on a small number of people.
But the responses from those who have seen the alternate design have been generally unfavourable.
One Twitter user said: "I really feel like I'm frenemies with Google. Black links instead of blue in the search results? No. Just No. Bad Google. Bad Google."
Another sent a public reply to Google, saying: "Google! The black unclicked links look terrible and are not very functional! #BringBackTheBlue."
One user said simply: "They look horrible. Please turn them back to blue Google."
It may seem like a trivial matter, but tweaking the shade of blue in 2014 boosted Google's profits by $200m by increasing click-through rate.
China is the only country in which the carefully selected blue colour is not used by Google - instead all the links are red.
