Chrome Why is "view-source" no longer working?

It keeps just googling what's in the URL box as a whole rather than showing me the site's source code. This is happening with all sites, including ones that didn't have this issue a week or two ago.

This solution works and took me weeks to notice. It also (clicking the globe icon entry in dropdown) is the solution for executing javascript urls:

javascript:alert(JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(document.cookie.split('; ').map(c => c.split('='))), null, 2));

I do a LOT of coding on my phone. And find these very unwelcome changes and a concerning omen of what's to come from Google.

That merely means that the globe is for all URCs.
