Something's wrong with Google? Or just me?

Look at this screenshot.

Notice something?
Something missing?
Something like:

Is it just Opera not showing the:
[Everything] [Pictures] [Videos] [News] ... [etc] bar?

Very strange, I suppose you could look up the game on google images. I have noticed for me, that those tabs you speak of were changed to match your search query. For example, If I looked up 'gbatemp', the tabs would show different things like 'homebrew' 'nintendo 3ds' 'hacking' etc. Something of the like could be related to your problem

Ok... thanks for replying.
Seems like Google is causing this.

Thought it was my browser.

Google malfunctioning.

Using Google as a search engine isn't very reliable, but Bing is even worse. It doesn't even have a dark mode.

I use Startpage on Brave.

Is the Brave search engine better, you think?
I use Firefox, but my main search engine is now set to Brave. Brave search certainly doesn't have the 'curated' search that Google has, so theoretically will return results that Google blocks... but Googles image search tends to be a bit better than Braves in my experience.

I tried the Brave browser for a while but it felt like a step backwards from Firefox... could be I'm just too used to Firefox after it being my primary browser for at least the last 15 years.

Add it as plugin in the browser and you can change the design to dark. Compare the search resultes from neva and google of the same search and you see the difference because of advertising.

This looks like you took the screenshot using either the Google App or the Google Search Widget? If you use Chrome and start searching right from the bar, it should give you the information with the search bar and the ability to swipe the bubbles to the side for more information. Weird either way though.

On Android I can't do that unless I'd use the Firefox browser.

Neeva needs to add customization because it looks messy and too normie.

As i see its also in Chromestore available, but ya.. chrome on android doesnt support plugins. Thats why i use Kiwi Browser which support it and also because of getting rid of cookie information popups.

I assume in the near future that'll change for Chrome browsers on Android.
