This might be one for yrag. Since yesterday I have been experiencing this

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.
The first link is only an example, It happens when I click on any picture and it only happens with google images. If I hover on the image until it enlarges and then click on it all is fine. It does it with other browsers too or at least it does with opera. If I use yahoo as the search engine and click on images it works fine. I don't believe it to be malware or a rootkit issue. I have done various scan and all come up clean. It appears to be a google thing. I have cleared my Internet cache and it had no effect. I am using internet 8 and perhaps if I went to Internet 9 the problem would go away but I had 9 and hated it. It was buggy and slower then version 8.
Now before you just tell me to switch search engines think about it. I can just set yahoo as my home page but that does not really fix the problem. There must be a reason why this just began to happen over night. Nothing was downloaded to my knowledge in that short of time, no fishy sites was I browsing and I checked add ons to see if they were the culprit. No amount of searching google has helped. I have read articles of others who have experienced the same issue. Most do not give a solution or say common sense things like clear your cache but those solutions have not done squat.
Anyone else experiencing this or have in the past?

But the problem is also in Opera. The other person on the forum reported it in Firefox although the problem has gone today.

No doubt the problem is with Google Images itself.

I have not tried Firefox or chrome yet but Just downloaded Pale Moon and the problem exist with it too. I did however import things from IE so that might be the problem with Pale Moon.
I am just glad that I feel a little bit less of a jackass.

I use FireFox all the time JC, it does not have the issue, and neither should PaleMoon technically as it is a derived from FireFox's code. Might be that you imported settings like you said though.

I have had this problem for a few days too. In FF, Chrome, IE, and I just DL Pale Moon did not import any thing and it did it with that too. After doing a bit of research, from what I found, It's all on Google, more or less it affects all browsers, but not everyone's. What they did was watch Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke and now eat Hash Brownies and do swats of that Calif. Sensi Bud all day.
LOL I just did a Google Didn't know if I spelled Sensi right I clicked on an Image and it came up with no redirect

I checked both IE and Chrome and it happens with both of them but not with FF.
