That message also appears in lower graphical tools. elinks and links for
example.
Google just lost a law suite in the states around how their search tool is
made available.
seems they are going to punish those in lower graphics environments,
including mobile ones.

Yes, that happened to me today as well (not sure what time it stopped,
but it worked in the morning UK time and did not work in the afternoon).
Google apparently hates browsers that can't view their JavaScript AI
garbage.
For now, I've discovered that this works, but it's only a matter of time
before they remove that loophole as well:
lynx -useragent='Lynx/2.9.2 AppleWebKit/528.18' google.com
I'll eventually be forced to switch to DuckDuckGo, but it just isn't as
good at returning relevant results.
