Google introduces Page Annotations feature in iOS app to link webpages to search results

Google has launched a new feature called "Page Annotations" in its iOS app. This feature automatically adds links to Google Search results within webpages, highlighting certain text without user or site owner consent. The Page Annotations feature extracts key information from a webpage and converts it into clickable links. This development comes amid ongoing antitrust issues for Google related to its search and advertising practices. Web publishers can opt out of this feature by filling out a form. Once submitted, the links will be disabled within 30 days, but publishers must provide various site versions to complete the process.
