Google news in Safari on my MacBook air opens links but then it opens a generic looking page

Safari started this new behavior yesterday. Mostly in Google news but also with other websites. The generic page does not have all the feature of the original link Is this a new feature? I tested google news on chrome and it works the regular way - links are opened without any further pop up window. Have i changed some settings by mistake? anybody experiences/ed this?

Hey there andrealaguni,


If this only happens with Safari, try using the following steps to help:


Reload the page
If a page doesn't open or finish loading, try to reload it: Choose View > Reload Page or press Command-R. If that doesn't work, press Command-Q to quit Safari, then reopen Safari and try again. If Safari doesn't quit, press Option-Command-Esc to force Safari to quit.
Install software updates
Install all available Apple software updates, which can include updates for Safari. If you installed any Safari extensions, update them as well. 
Turn off Safari extensions
Even if your Safari extensions are up to date, temporarily turn them off to be sure they aren't affecting Safari in unexpected ways. Choose Safari > Preferences, then click Extensions. To turn off an extension, deselect its checkbox.
