Hey, I have the same problem as you. However, do you have Seoquake installed? Because they are causing a huge amount of queries from Google.

Nope, unless it's hidden somewhere.

In a forum they recommend deleting all your browser has in memory.

You're not alone—this happens when Google thinks your network is sending automated queries. Try clearing your browser cache, disabling extensions, or switching networks. If you're on a shared IP (like at work or via VPN), that might be the cause.

Encountering that Google search block can be frustrating! It sounds like Google thinks your queries are automated. Are you using any browser extensions or VPNs? Perhaps your IP address is flagged. While waiting for a fix, maybe unwind with some classic flash games?
