I've been noticing a larger and larger portion of sites in google results have been taken over by something. They all act the same way, and act similar to cloudfares checks. You get a big green dot on the screen first and then a bunch of redirects. I've not read anything about it, but probably 1/15 of my google result clicks end up there. How does google not know these sites have been taken over and keep them on the first page of search results? It's getting tiring because they also hijack your history, so you can't just hit "back" and you lose everything you've been searching through. You can't just click "back" to the results page and go to next result...you have to start search over and remember exact terms you used "that last search"

I have a little tip for you; right-click your back arrow, and choose your search page from the list.

  Another tip: block js globally(uBlock Origin) and white list sites you trust.

  At least on iOS Safari there's this bug (feels like it's always been there, maybe content blocker related?) where sometimes a search simply gets eaten. The browser somehow thinks you went from nowhere straight to the page you're on, even though you went past a Google results page. I assume it's somehow redirect-related and that's why these sites tend to trigger it.

    I’m thinking of two situations: - you tapped the “Siri suggestion” result which completely skips the SERP. I hate that “back” doesn’t bring you back to what I typed in the search/URL bar - I regularly visit The Verge, open a story and then the back button doesn’t take me to the homepage but to the page before it. I blame their crappy JavaScript but maybe we’re experiencing the same thing.

      Nope. It's as if that happens, though going past a regular Google search results page, which is dropped (hence along with the search itself) from history.

        Nope what? I described that same thing on The Verge.

    Confirming this happens to me too. I feel like I first saw it on iOS 10 or so.
