Google Testing New Anchor Links & Favicon Experiences In AI Mode
"This new experience seems to make the citations more clickable because the embedded links have larger favicons and seem to appear more often, near the text it is referencing."
"When I hover over it, it appears differently. Previously, it was just clickable and redirected to the website, but now it behaves differently."
"With this new test, the embedded links now also show with a larger favicon. This was first discovered by @SachuPatel53124."
Google is experimenting with updates to citations, anchor links, and favicons in AI Mode results. The new design features larger favicons and more frequent appearances of embedded links near referenced text. Users have noted changes in how these links behave, with one user highlighting a new logo that appears differently when hovered over. Another user confirmed the larger favicons and variations in design, including underlined links with icons. Screenshots of these changes have been shared on social media platforms.
