Maybe introduce a way to get legacy UI about old-google HOT 3 OPEN

Oh yeah thank you! The search page doesn't really work well using old UAs so I might only apply it to the hp request header (if possible). Dark theme looks a bit crap so I'll probably just add a custom colour style to it when the page background is dark theme.

The theme is dependent on user preference rather than system theme, however, and I don't have experience with that so I'll look into that as well. On light theme, the styling works really well, although it isn't the Google-type buttons from the 2013-era hp:

On a side note, setting the UA to PlayStation yields a very 90s-looking homepage that looks kinda interesting.

One day I'd love a search page like the NeoCities project with the same name (which is really cool btw and has a pretty good recreation of the old Images results page) but I don't think a UA will cover that, so it'd be a super super long term thing that'd require a ton of code to hook into a Google page response with any degree of speed.

Google on IE works well with the old theme, but using an existing UA switcher addon for Firefox, the UI looks a bit broken (especially with dark theme). I'll do a bit more searching around with what UA switching can do. I remember seeing the old design with the top grey toolbar somewhat recently which I'd like to aim for.

It's definitely possible and I'll look into it.

Switching to the UA to "Google Bot" gave me the old gray bar design btw.
