          Are you sure that you are checking the correct tab;

          When you display a page after fetching like google you have to options. Default it shows "Rendering" - which displays the normal page. If you select the tab "Fetching" (which I suspect is what you did) - you get the http response followed by all kinds of strange symbols.
