Google (search, maps) have been very flaky for the past hour or so. For example, I can do a search and it'll work fine, then I do another and it hangs. Or I can scroll around in Maps and it'll suddenly refuse to zoom/pan.

 

This is on my home Voyager connection. All is well on my work connection (Spark?). Is anyone else having issues?

Worldle is quite tricky today, maybe that's the problem?

I actually found Worldle quite easy, but then discovered the Maps issue while looking at said country afterwards. Interestingly in Street View the street names came up in a character set not used by that country...

 

In any case, I doubt that there are enough Worldle users to DOS Google Maps :)

Well, just trying it on my other computer and everything seems to be working fine on there. So, apparently not a Voyager/Google issue. As you were :)

 

Edit: Deleting all Google cookies appears to have fixed it. I've never seen a bad cookie cause a site to completely refuse to load like search was, but I suppose stranger things have happened. Case closed for now!
