This is no duplicate of the same titled questions from 2014: The list of recent "answers" of disgruntled users shows that this is a new problem that seems to have surfaced just recently. As the "answer" by @Greeble formulates it:
When I searched Google for the webpage you're reading right now, and
clicked on it, it took me to the Google Play store and asked me to
download the stackexchange app. A different search result to a problem
forum resulted in me being directed to download the Tapatalk app.
Interestingly, clicking "open in new tab" prevents this annoying
behavior.
I have the same problem with the Dolphin browser, but it is more than
just Wikipedia.
For me it is a Firefox latest version, while a stone-age Chrome browser does not have this problem.
My hunch is that it is actually Google's search results itself that are instrumented to link to their Play Store. Of course this cannot be checked on a desktop. I tried checking the page source with a Firefox extension, but this was all just javascript gibberish, hard to make sense of.
Is there any way to see the HTML on an Android similar to the developer functionality we have in desktop browsers?
Is there a way to get rid of this nonsense again?
