I think that you need to have cookies enabled, or Google will redirect you again each time you go to the site.
Alternatively you could go to http://www.google.com/webhp instead. I'm not sure if this is the URL used in the 'standard' plugin.
As for the icon, it's not a big deal but some people might like the capital 'G' icon more than the small 'g' icon.
