Great story, but unfortunately I am left with no idea of what was done, why it was done, are there any negative consequences, and, if so, is there any fix.

what was done

Previously at google.com, anonymous searches (by non-logged-in users) used the standard protocol for web browsing, namely HTTP. Now they use the HTTPS protocol, which is purportedly more secure because it transmits encrypted data.

why it was done,

Google alleges that it makes your web searches more secure.

are there any negative consequences,

I'm hoping FReeper techies will answer this.

and, if so, is there any fix

I'm hoping FReeper techies will answer this.
