Yeah, that looks like the same content, but it used to appear in "news" search results if you set the date range accordingly. Sad they haven't made more of it really. Thanks for the pointer!

Wasn't a huge quantity of images of newspaper articles accessible via google news search, by setting a pre-Internet date range, at one time? Is that material still available anywhere? It was really extensive IIRC.

If you want to avoid looking like malware, you can attempt to improve mobile browsing but let the user choose to opt out via search settings. Pretty simple solution, no?
