TLDR

Google is testing a verification step that requires users to click a "Continue" button after a few seconds to access search results, a less invasive alternative to its earlier sign-in requirement.

Optimixed's original report on this story.

Google is testing a new verification feature on search results that requires users to click a "Continue" button after a brief delay, rather than signing in, to confirm they are human and proceed with searches. This follows earlier testing in August where Google required sign-in to verify users before displaying results.
