Google Problems

[Coknuck]

I getting the google page but it doesn't have the search button. I was wondering if any one else is getting this. It only does it in FF.

That's a 'Feature'.  


Or as many have said, " I can type in my search and click enter faster, than the graphics take to come up".



I kept still getting it randomly.  Various types of crap adjustments they have done.

But I don't get the Fancy banner characters all the time cause I use,
http://www.google.com/webhp  or  http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en
To avoid the stupid redirect to Canada's Google page.

That's all good and dandy but I do a lot of copy and paste and its a pain in the ass to hit the enter key!

It does work like it used to in IE7.


Edit: IE7 picture

Came back after checking History in ccleaner!

I like this one, when I changed my user agent to Internet explorer 6 or 7, but not on 8.

And all this crap controlled by Java Script, for those that want to know.

 I've noticed a lot of changes, and tests going on with google, each time they change something, I have to clear the cache in that particular browser I used, otherwise I get a dump or 404.

 And whats with  all the page redirects to google ca  , only thing I can think of this testing by google be playing havok with the DNS servers cache as well ?

Google and Yahoo have been doing that for quite a while.  The biggest complaint on it is by people who travel or are temporarily living outside of the U.S.
Yahoo's excuse is giving a page full of Canadian content as per our 'fascist closed door country'.  It's for our Heritage. 
Googles excuse is more simple of giving you Google in your countries language. ??????????  Or some shiat like that. The YouTube redirect only lasted as a redirect for about a month or two, before it resolved properly to the '.com'. 
And we have the occasional site that had exclusive deals to redirect Canadians to the Canadian version of a U.S. TV show site. And that also does not last too long before the people of the Internet find access to the contact form of the U.S. site to complain that there is lots of other content on the U.S. site that is not 'CopyRight owner' enforceable.

But When someone types a '.com', thats where they want to go.   In the U.S. , people don't always see what the rest of the world has to suffer with. I read something the other month about how Rogers Cable Internet has come out with a new combo cable modem/router. And it comes with a DNS hijacker in it. I am glad Telus does not pull the crap that some of the ISP's in Canada pull. Telus has no throttling or hijacking.   


And I am guessing that the 'Google Search button' is missing, so you use the 'suggestion' drop downs. 
Or since this seems to be a FireFox issue.... Get YesScript add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4922 It's a javascript blocker 'per site'. It's easier than NoScript to avoid breaking some sites.

Oh and on the DNS stuff.
An ISP in Canada had an issue last week to do with their IP ranges. I am guessing that they bought some almost gone IPv4 address from another ISP. So people were getting WebPage results of just like if they were living in England or Spain. So the users were banned from accessing the Canadian TV channels streaming TV content, even though they were in Canada.

Damn. Black listing the javascript, it did not work.

Run ccleaner it will bring it back. I also shortened the time to keep things in History.
