Google is not willing to talk to my GUI browser that has a strict NoScript
installation.  So I use DuckDuckGo instead.  It has to be said, that is
somewhat inferior to Google in the quality of results it offers.

So when DDG fails, I do this: lynx -useragent=lynx www.google.com

It works for me (though I don't expect it to keep working forever).
The key is the lowercase 'l' in the useragent.  It doesn't work with
an uppercase one.  Go figure.
