Google app for iOS now adds Search links to third-party websites unless they opt-out

Google wants you to use Search while viewing other sites on the web.

"Words, topics, products, places, celebrity names, and other entities that are mentioned in a page might be highlighted as clickable annotations in the Google App browser for iOS," the company explains in a support document. The Google Search results cards that appear as Page Annotations are designed in a way that makes it easy to return to the site you were previously browsing. It's also worth noting that iOS has a native Look Up feature that basically allows users to do the exact same thing, except it works system-wide on any highlighted text.
