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.

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn

    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection

    how is wireless charging possible?

    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
