> Sadly, Google has this dark pattern where you are trying to search for something and they'll show you a pop-up to install something, and they change the popup until you click the wrong button and all of the sudden instead of buying plywood you find yourself in the app store to install God knows what (but I bet my rear that it tracks me). So I have gone now through the hoops and installed Kagi in iOS as well.
I'm not a google user but - are you sure you don't have malware or something? I guess probably not as you said iOS, but I'm failing to imagine this being true in the way I'm reading it.
- busymom0 1y agoI face this issue too and can easily reproduce it. When typing in Google search, if I try to place the cursor, it will often register my click on the "microphone" icon due to a tiny delay of the search UI and that opens up the App Store page. When I switch back to Safari, it starts a never ending loop of sending me back to App Store page. I have to kill Safari to stop this.
