      I've seen this stuff before, but never that. It looks attached to the search result based on the page element design in your screenshot.

      All of these are also obviously separate elements.

        @jaredbusch those are "related" searches, I get those too. This one is slightly differently and the worst part is how delayed it is.

            @scottalanmiller - I tried a search in chrome and firefox and don't get anything that pops out when hovering over a result link.

              Weird, I've been getting it for weeks now.

                  Any and any from what I can tell. I saw it just now on Fedora 28 and Firefox.

                    I stopped using Google quite a while back. I like the interface on DDG a bit better. Along with uBlock, works well.

                      This topic just glowed bright blue on the main page for about 5 seconds. What is that?

                        I noticed it a little bit ago, maybe after the last update? It seems to only appear when you use the browser back button (mouse click, back function, whatever). I'm assuming it's to highlight where you left off? Not really sure...

                              Are you saying that you see this without it?

                              Because no one else has reported even seeing this.

                                I just checked on Windows 10 and see it with Chrome.

                                  Yes, sorry for the ambiguity. Basically I have seen a lot of customers more recently searching like Amazon or Walmart and the first two results are ads or the link for the top searches show a correct link but you get the MS or Fake AV support pages.

                                    I see it in Chrome. But it doesn't delay. It's usually only when I hit the back button.

                                          Seems to occur when viewing messages in Recent Topics and navigating back to prior screen.
