Google Chrome: Default Reaction to 404 and Site Issues

This, at least, has been my experience with the major browsers for the past few years – they don’t obfuscate what the server is doing.

Until Google Chrome came along, at least. It turns out that Google like their new browser to do what most others stopped doing years ago. On receiving the 404 code from the server, the browser’s default behaviour is to ignore any further content and replace it with Google generated suggestions and search form.
