Google Reverted to Old Layout

Earlier today (8/28/2014), Google, my homepage, reverted back to the old layout. Images attached to show you what I mean. All I remember doing was logging in to my computer from it being in a state of sleep. I would like to go back to the new layout.

I have tried:

restarting computer
quit and re-open safari
reset safari
checking other browsers (firefox is fine; don't have other browsers on my computer; no one else in my house/network is having this trouble)
research (google search, google forums, apple forums)

Other people are having similar trouble. See link: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/EVLc3z5pcB8/lliYVZwiZesJ. Unfortunately, they are using a different browser and no one has an answer for my particular issue.

Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.8), Safari 5.1.10

I'll look into that for you as I'd need to test it first to see if it will indeed work without causing too many problems...

The "hack" I did before for Safari sets the to User Agent to the following...

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/534.59.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.1.6 Safari/534.59.10

I'll try and implement the User Agent you just gave and test it out. I don't use Safari anymore myself these days but still have it available mainly because it's just to problematic with todays internet and instead I use Chrome & Firefox which are not ideal nor do I like those browsers personally but there's not much other choice these days sadly... :-/

I'll post the new "Hack" here if it works after testing but as before you use it at your own risk and follow carefully any instructions I give with it for installing it... :-)
