A few days ago, Google Chrome started acting up. Whenever I ctrl+T for a new tab, enter some search terms and hit Enter, I'm taken to a blank Google homepage with this URL: https://www.google.com/webhp?rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS440US440&sourceid=chrome-instant&ix=hea&ie=UTF-8&ion=1
.
This happens with one-word and multi-word search terms, and with any of the operators I use regularly. It also happens when I try to search in the url/search bar of an existing tab.
Running Chrome 16.0.912.75 m on Windows 7 Pro SP1. I hadn't installed any new extensions for several weeks before this started happening. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed.
