Review: I don't like Google's new look. It's messy.

Google's new look: review

I'm not liking Google's new look.  As you can see below, there's now a left handed toolbar on the search results which is taking up space.  I think this looks messy and Google should have the option to allow users to turn it off or minimize it a bit.  

I understand it makes it more convenient for some users and there was probably a favorable response from a controlled study, but to me, I just want relevant search results and I don't want it to take extra space.   But that's just me.
