Google Search URL is suspicious looking

I was google searching something on mobile and the latter half of the url showed

“&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.3…1451.7109…7412…0.1…0.128.1047.7j4…0…1…0i71j35i39.heRacR9YR3E”

I’m not that familiar with https and whatnot, but is this numbers and periods thing normal for brave? Is it Brave’s way of securing my search…or do I have a virus of some sort…?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@gnvw can you provide more info about your issue?

Thanks

Hi Eljuno!

Thanks for commenting and for the template

I replicated the search twice, both producing different urls:

https://www.google.com/search?ei=5HNWXfQTsbXQ8Q-Xy53oDg&q=how+do+people+invest+in+bitcoin&oq=how+do+people+invest+in+bitcoin&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.3...1451.7109..7412...0.1..0.128.1047.7j4…0…1…0i71j35i39.heRacR9YR3E

I’m using Samsung Galaxy s9 running android.

Thanks for the info, @gnvw.

I tested on other browsers too and get similar results. So I assumed it’s the way Google (the search engine) handle it.

Hello Eljuno,

I tried it on chrome and the url is normal so I’m inclined to think it’s not a Google search thing…

But thank you for taking the time to look into my issue.
