I used to use finance.google.com to quickly look up a stock or fund and see its performance and top holdings and other info I just wanted to quickly look at.

Now they have redone the sight and its horrible. No granular graph on past history, can't find any top holdings or other info. Only thing that shows up is a simple graph of how its doing in 5 days / 1 month / 1 year / 5 years and max.

Seems like they dumbed down the heck out of it. Maybe i'm missing a link to click on somewhere but i've clicked all over the dang page and nothing more comes up.

I've seen a lot of sites move to this huge icon thing with black and white but use colors in graphs however with little to no text explaining anything.

I hate it too. Hate is a kind term for the new interface. Can't do anything.
I complain a lot in "contact us"

Okay, had a little trouble following your chain of logic.

The wholesale revision of the web for phone users is well past the halfway point, meaning that if a site operator chooses one mode, it's for small mobile devices. Which is exasperating to use on a larger device or those 'orrible old "desktops." Adaptive sites that conform to whatever browser type is being used are only occasionally done well, meaning that we all live with sites that fit on a phone screen and pretty much suck big wet rocks in every other respect.
