Google changed dramatically?

I've noticed it to. Got like a frame down the left side now, and it all just blooks different. Can't say I really like it. Crash Lander

Have you noticed now that you don't have the radio buttons underneath the search buttons so that you can select to do your search for either Aust or for the whole web.

The work around is to add "+ au" to the end of the search string.

No change in Mozzila

Firefox you mean? It certainly changed, but about a week ago, so it's old news.

it has not changed here period , no side bar as shown in the mickldrip viewer It certainly changed, but about a week ago, so it's

Flush your cache and set your browser to check for newer pages at every visit.

One thing hasn't changed. Google your own name and the box on the right will still offer you the best deal on yourself and assure you that you are for sale on ebay.

I did years ago , each time the browser closes it does a flush same on 4 machines

Not for me it doesn't. There is no box on the right.

I use google with seamonkey and it has been doing weird things, it keeps redirecting to perfectly ordinary looking but diverse pages but not what I wanted. If I shut the page and re click on the url it goes to the right page I spent 24 hrs loading a new version of a squared free and running it in safe mode,it found some things which I quarantined. Rebooted and google is still acting in the same stupid way. The pages it redirects to do not look like the pages that nasties send you to

Or click pages from Australia on the left on the search result page

There is a seymonkey user group. I visited there a couple of years back.

Get onto them. I'll bet they are aware, and may have answers.

I use a plugin called OptimizeGoogle. Among other things, it gets rid of ads shown alongside your results (or first finds).

And thankfully, it still works with the "new" Google.

Since a couple of weeks ago google has been doing redirects (possibly so it can collect statistics of which links are followed).

This is weird, the redirect urls all have the eventual destination clearly expressed in them. I wonder how google could mess up that badly.

perhaps you're the victim of a misbehaving HTTP proxy?

(Telstra-Clear (NZ) uses a transparent proxy, it seems to be well behaved, I only discovered it when investigating a site that had problems if visited through other providers)

I had something similar with gmail, try clearing all the cookies from google.

If you want to use the old google without that stupid side bar , then use these links

I have been thing that I was infected with something so I ran various anti virus progs in safe mode but google is still acting strangely. It behaves differently to my laptop with the same browser with the same settings,it opens strange pages,sometimes blank pages in a separate window when the laptop does not,during the strange searches googleleaderservices.com comes up and sometimes google-analytics.com flashes in the search line or down at the bottom So it seems to be the computer or browser or some other program causing it, have to do some more investigation. all the virus detection programs say no infections since I ran them and cleaned any problems. .

Eureka touch wood, I just ran ccleaner and the registry check,fixed problems and it now seems to be working.

Great tip, Sandgroper. Thanks for posting it, much appreciated. Long may it last ;-)
