If I try to navigate to any of the following pages:

I get an error message in Safari saying:

Safari can't open the page "https://encrypted.google.com/" because
Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server
"encrypted.google.com"

I also find that on the Gmail page many images are missing and when I try to go the image location I see the same error as above. Here's a pic of the missing images:

In chrome I have the same issue but with a different error as follows:

Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

I am not using a proxy and this behaviour has started recently for seemingly no apparent reason although I did get a new router about 2 weeks ago. Why am I experiencing these problems?

The issue was a temporary change and you should have an excellent chance of secure browsing from the main google entry page and all shipping versions of Safari.

Things could change next month, but lately google has served up rock solid https using certificate trust chains that Apple has included in all OS they ship.
