Hi guys, lately (this week or so) I noticed that when I search through Google, sometimes it shows results that are totally irrelevant to the keywords, but tightly related to my personal search history instead.

This is particular bad when I search in Japanese, which I typically do.

Here is one of the examples:

I searched for "御伽りるむ 前世" where 御伽りるむ is a person's name.

All these top results are TOALLY IRRELAVANT to the person I search. The first result, more interestingly, is a different (again, totally irrelevant) person I just happened to search yesterday.

The autocomplete shows totally nonsense results, too.

There is also an additional UX bug is that now all the links are colored purple (visited) so that you can't tell which one you have clicked. Which you can see in the above screenshots.

I see a few similar results on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1kloz19/all_unvisited_links_showing_as_purple/ and it seems related to your account, someone gets this bug but most don't. Needless to see this is also very annoying.

I think this is bad enough that it can't be just the typical "Google Search quality in decline", but a straight-up bug. I've sent feedbacks, but it hasn't getting better within these few days.

So I would like to raise the awareness here since I know there are lots of Googler here. Thanks.
