Google app for iOS has gained a new feature that some users think is an attack on their livelihood.
Google is now inserting what looks like links into web pages in Google App’s browser that take users to the search result page.
As first spotted by Search Engine Roundtable, Google has introduced a new feature called Page Annotation for the iOS version of Google App. The feature highlights topics that you may find interesting and to an unsuspecting user, the highlights may look like links.

This could be infuriating if you are a website owner, as, essentially, Google is redirecting your users to its search results for the highlighted term.
Google, however, insists that this is just a new way to provide additional information to users about the topics they are interested in.
