OK… I have an update on this.
First of all, you were correct! Disabling javascript does indeed force the "fake" Google page to appear! So this definitely has nothing to do with NoScript!
However, something has just occurred to me, and if I'm right then I am a complete and total idiot…
I notice that somehow I had
www.google.com disabled in my NoScript settings, meaning that Google itself could not use javascript. Now since this "fake" page appears anytime javascript is disabled… could what I'm seeing just be
Google's non-javascript alternative?
Is that what other people see when Javascript is off?:
To me, this looks absolutely nothing like the real Google, virtually everything about it is different and odd looking. It even uses the green URLs which Google scrapped months ago. Plus, I'm used to Google's non-javascript alternative and this definitely isn't it.
I really hope you will tell me that I'm a complete and total idiot, and this is just Google's normal non-javascript page! That would be a relief!
