Issues with Google and Google images?

[sgschroller]

Just tonight, I noticed that on my Droid RAZR, Google search was in a different "format". When I searched for an image, I was not able to view the image full screen nor save/ download it. Again, the "format" of Google looked less like a mobile version. For instance, I am typically able to flip between pages of images by swiping right to left. Now I can't do that either. When tapping on one of the image results, it simply brings up the image and a grey "X" in the top right corner to exit. Typically, there are the two options "< Back to results" and "View full size". Those are no longer present. I have tried restarting, but it hasn't worked. As I've seen options between mobile and regular sites, is this the deal with Google? How do I fix this?

If a similar thread has been posted prior to this, I apologize, I'm new to the site.

Also: when doing a long tap on the image, or holding, saving or downloading are not options.

Have you cleared cache within browser settings? I just tested images in Google search, works fine.

Just cleared the cache. The only change is that now when i try and click on images, they won't expand at all?

Are you using stock browser? rooted or not?

I'll assume it's just a stock browser. It's whatever comes up when clicking on the magnifying glass in the bottom right corner. I'm just not sure why this would have changed randomly.

I have the exact same problem, I have cleared the cache, and used multiple browsers it happens with all of them, dolphin, firefox, chrome...
Does anyone know what to do?

I noticed this on my Bionic, and seems to me like Google just redesigned the web page. On some images, you can long press and it pulls up an option to view image, but no way to tell which ones allow it. Those that do don't always show full resolutions like they used to. I'm guessing until they iron things out, you will need to tap the source URL at the bottom to go to the web page where the pic is posted.

I highly doubt this has anything to do with our phones.
