[SOLVED] [chromium] Huge headings in google search results

I was very surprised to see that the headings in google's search results have a very annoying size. I already set the font size to small and tiny. All fonts changed their size except for the headings which stayed exactly the same size. To better understand the problem, I have included two screenshots. I also tried removing ~/.config/chromium but the problem persists. On my other computer I set up a virtual machine with archlinux and chromium but did not see this problem.

If any more information is needed, I'm happy to provide it to you.

EDIT:

The problem was resolved by clearing the browser cache. I find this very strange as I already deleted the cache and settings folders manually...

moderator edit: changed img tags to url tags

Welcome to Arch Linux
As you have marked it solved, I am changing the links to your over sized images into url links.  Please consider using click through thumbnails in the future.

Thanks.

Google tests a new search interface for desktop that removes underlines from links and increases text size for page titles.

I did see this happening yesterday.
