Safari Displays iPhone version of Google

If you look at the image below, you'll see that I'm getting the iPhone version of Google on my Mac. If I refresh, it stays the same, but curiously enough, if I visit www.google.com (note SSL), it looks fine. If I do a search, it first takes me to the iPhone results, then upon refresh, it displays the normal results.

"Try emptying your cache.

I reproduced your problem by changing my user-agent to ""Mobile Safari"". Even after changing it back and restarting Safari, it still showed the mobile version.

I tried using ""Reset Safari"" and just flagging ""Delete cookies"", but that did not work.

However, when I used ""Empty Cache"", Google started working properly again.

I did this a few more times just to confirm that it was ""Empty Cache"" that was fixing the problem. I don't know why this works, though."

What version of Safari are you using? if changing the user agent back to normal doesn't fix anything, maybe reinstalling Safari would help.
