On my iPad Pro 6th gen, I now need to click twice to open a link from a search in Safari. This behavior began only within the past two days. It only happens when I use Google as the search engine. If I switch to Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo as search engine I have no problem. Also no problem if I use a different browser or Google app. Has anyone else seen this?
Got a tip for us?

Well I guess it's like that old joke.
"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"Well don't do it then!"
If Google creates a problem, don't use it. DuckDuckGo is a far better search engine anyway.

I had read somewhere that the problem might be related to another website that I had viewed. The problem went away when I cleared history and website data and deleted all tabs.
It could be that you have enabled accessibility features. I for sure know that when one of these features is enabled, you need to double click on items in order to open them.
