How to disable redirects from Google Search results to Android apps (different issue from 2014)?
It is suspected that this issue is related to Google's roll-out of the ability to install apps directly from search results.  The install links are supposed to be clearly marked, but that was not happening here.  At the moment, I believe this is fixed because Google results are showing separate Install links and I am not being redirected to any apps otherwise.

If it's still happening for you, there are a few half-solutions I've seen suggested:


Use a desktop view/user agent when searching Google (I.e., Menu &rarr; "Request desktop site" in Chrome)
Long press on the search result you want and open it in a new tab
Try a different browser and make sure you have the latest version.
Use a different search engine.
