I needed photo references for drawings on a new project, so I did a Google picture search for "men in bondage" on Internet Explorer. While I was collecting photos IE crashed. This is a common error using IE8 on pages that require high resource use (I use XP) so I tried again using Chrome which is better on high resource pages. To my surprise I got a totally different set of results. Both had "adult content" set "on".

Backing up to a website search for "men in bondage", I again got different results on both browsers. (Although in this case only slightly different. And most results were on both, but in a different order. There were however two sites that appeared only in one browser's listing.)

Anyone know how Google justify this? I mean the "best search" is the "best search" in whatever browser you use, and giving different results in different browsers means that in one browser Google has to be deliberately giving me results that it does NOT think are the best results to my search!
