       When specifying no user-agent and the now deprecated disable_polymer parameter
       it would still try to serve the new layout sometimes.
       
       Use Google it's own bot user-agent to force switching the old layout which uses
       the non-polymer layout.
       
       Hopefully this is more "reliable".
