This post is about the world's most popular homepage. It's a really simple page but it's done remarkably poorly in terms of frontend web development. It's pretty much beyond me how a multi billion corporation manages to make such a poor effort when it comes to the most visited webpage on the planet. I'm of course talking about Google. I suppose it's safe to mention their name. Just about anything else seems to be off limits when it comes to the branding of Google which is why I decided to work my way around the guidelines for this post in order to prevent a very unwelcome C&D.

This link wasn't submitted by me but I did write this article. Just out of interest, would any of the people voting it down be willing to let me know why that is exactly? I'd love to get your feedback even though it may be negative. Thanks!

i did not really see your critique to be very valuable. Other than the accessibility issue, the other sloppiness does not really matter because the site works amazingly well. It is fast and reliable, which is probably why the issues have never been addressed.
