Google appears to be experimenting with opening search result links in a new browser window. Although there’s a setting to toggle this behavior, it is currently turned off, indicating Google is testing this feature independently of user preferences.
This observation was shared by Sachin Patel on X, where he noted that clicking on a website in Google’s search results now often opens that link in a separate window instead of the same tab. A visual demonstration accompanying the report shows the search result link opening in a new window during the test.
An additional discussion on social media suggests that this feature might relate to existing search settings, raising questions about whether users can control this behavior or if it’s purely experimental at this stage.
