This page is dedicated to showing remnants of dead Google services that still exist on Google's website somewhere. It is largely inspired by the Google Graveyard. In some cases, remnants of services discontinued over a decade ago still have pages explaining their discontinuation or still contain redirects to other pages. This page is dedicated to cataloging them.
This page would open after installing the Internet Explorer version of Google Toolbar. It contains references to many other dead Google services, such as Google+. A similar page exists here.
This appears to be an ad for Google Chrome which would appear in a sidebar on Internet Explorer.
Google Toolbar was available for Firefox, but due to many of its features being made available for Firefox, it was discontinued. The announcement links to a Blogger article about the discontinuation.
This is an error page which would most likely display if the user tried to install Google Toolbar on an unsupported browser. Interestingly, it still uses the old Google logo unlike some of the other Google Toolbar pages. Additionally, the copyright date suggests the page was last updated in 2011.
A simple landing page for when Google Toolbar is uninstalled. Last modified in 2011 according to the copyright date.
Upon visiting this site, an HTML document will be downloaded to your device instead of being displayed normally in the browser. The style.css file appears to be gone, and while the Google Toolbar image doesn't display correctly, it's still hosted here as expected. In fact, the original toolbar.google.com favicon can be seen on this page. The copyright date shows this page was last updated in 2006. Here is a snapshot of what the page looks like with the proper CSS.
This page was used to reset Google Toolbar's toolbar menu in Internet Explorer. Similarly to the command error page, you have to download the page to view it, so there's no CSS or images displaying. Clicking the button redirects you to the command error page and makes a popup message appear letting you know the toolbar menu was reset and asking you to restart IE (even if you aren't on IE). The images used are also still hosted, including an older Google Toolbar logo and the "Googly" icon. An archived version with proper CSS and images can be viewed here.
Another page you have to download that just has the Google Toolbar ToS. It says it was last updated April 2005.
Lets you pick which configuration of Google Toolbar you'd like. Clicking either option closes the tab.
Appears if you tried to install Google Toolbar again when it's already installed.
An XML file likely used for some sort of Gmail related feature.
A widget used with Google+. Another version exists here. The pages are blank and don't have much in their HTML, except for references to old JavaScript files. These files were never archived by the Wayback Machine, so it's unknown what they looked like.
Yet another version of the Google Toolbar logo.
An old EULA page for Google Toolbar and Google Chrome. It appears to just display the current ToS sites in a somewhat broken iframe.
This is one of, if not the last support page about Google+ on Google Support. It's rather sad, just saying you need to go to plus.google.com to sign up for Google+. The article is only three sentences long.
This is the former URL Google+ was hosted on. Instead of leading to a page about Google+ being discontinued, this page confusingly redirects to a Google Workspace Updates blog article on Blogger. There's a note at the top of the page about Google+ deprecation, but the rest of the page seems completely unrelated.
JavaScript API code used for the PlusOne widget.
This page contains the archive of the ill fated Google Answers, discontinued in December of 2006 (nearly two decades before the writing of this entry). All of the discussions have been preserved here. It appears as if it's gone completely untouched ever since it was discontinued, so it looks extremely outdated in comparison to most Google websites. At the bottom of the FAQ page is a copyright date of 2006.
A page with researcher guidelines for Google Answers.
This was the page for Google Desktop, a program that allowed users to search their files similarly to searching the Web via Google. It was discontinued in 2011. When accessing Google Desktop's page, you are near instantly redirected to a Blogspot blog that is no longer open to the public. If you stop loading the page quick enough, you can see the extremely bare HTML page screenshotted above. The link just leads to the same Blogspot blog.
The only page which appears when you search the Google Desktop site on Google. No clue what is this for.
Picasa was a photo organizer tool which was discontinued in 2015 and replaced with Google Photos. A page about the discontinuation still exists.
For some reason, this page redirects to the Blogger about page. It's located on the Picasa server.
The policies page for Picasa, which is still completely intact.
A plaintext changelog of Picasa features. Another similar version exists here with one less version present.
Writely was an in-browser word processor, which was quite revolutionary for its time. In 2006, it was killed in favor of rebranding it to Google Docs. Google apparently still owns the domain for Writely, as it redirects to Google Drive. This article was written when Writely was active and shows screenshots of what it looked like.
Stadia was a video game streaming service offered by Google. Due to its unpopularity, it was discontinued. This page hosts a firmware update allowing Google Stadia controller owners to update their controller's firmware to make it a general Bluetooth controller.
fflick was a website that showed information about movies scraped from Twitter. It was purchased and killed by Google. The website still exists, and simply says "Fflick has been acquired by Google, Inc. For media inquiries please contact press@google.com. Interestingly, the website uses the modern Google logo and incorrectly formats the service's name as "Fflick", with an uppercase F. The service was discontinued in 2011."
Gears added functionality such as offline file storage capabilities to web apps. The former URL of Gears now redirects to a Blogspot blog page regarding the discontinuation.
A Blogspot blog for Gears. Despite not having any new posts since 2011, it's still up and uses the old Google Code logo.
Google Code was a version control system hosted by Google for software development. It was discontinued in 2016. There is still a landing page with links to its replacements. The landing page has a copyright date of 2017.
Google Code Archive exists to host the projects which Google hosted on Google Code. It uses an outdated design compared to modern Google pages.
Jaiku was a social media website founded around when Twitter was founded. Visiting the domain it was hosted on leads to a generic 404 error.
Google Related helped Google users find related content while searching the Web. Its page now displays a generic discontinued page, similar to the Firefox Google Toolbar page in design.
Picnik was a photo editing service acquired by then killed by Google. It still has a page about the discontinuation despite being discontinued in 2013.
Yet another service acquired by Google, then axed. This page details the discontinuation.
A page about the Google acquisition, which ended up killing the company in the end. It uses what the old site layout would have looked like and uses the old Google logo.
A version of the Google logo from 2006, still hosted today.
A site about content security policies on websites to prevent XSS which is now outdated according to the banner at the top of the page. The "withgoogle.com" domain has a bunch of random websites and redirects hosted on it for some reason.
A page with Google experiments which apparently lasted 14 years before being replaced with labs.google. Old experiments are still archived here.
