Ladies and gentlemen, the Black GoogleGoogle acts like a secondary brain to many of the internet dwellers and surfers. However, it uses white screen which consumes higher power and not to mention straining our eyes if we stare at the screen for quite some time.
According to a 2002 study from Roberson, who tested a variety of CRT and LCD monitors and found that an all black screen consumed less energy than an all white screen on all of them. Thus, if Google were to had a black screen, with the huge number of pages viewed, an estimated 750 megawatts per hour of power per year would be saved. A megawatt-hour is the equivalent of ten thousand 100 watt light bulbs burning continuously for 1 hour.
In response to the high power consumption problem, Google powered a black version of search engine, called Blackle, which has the exact same functions as the normal Google search engine. As a Google Custom Search partner, Blackle allows for the customization of the returned search results. As such, a search in Blackle does not necessarily return the same results as a Google search.

For your information, on the Blackle homepage, the creators of Blackle provide a count of the number of watt-hours that they claim the users of Blackle have collectively saved. Neat*

There are around 22 different versions of “black google” online. The best one I’ve found is www.cleanblack.com. Cleanblack is the only version that allows you to change the text colors of the google search results. Try it yourself by going to www.cleanblack.com/theme/
