How my google results look right now

I can’t seem to find any info out there on why this looks this way. I also really don’t like it.

Kinja'd!!!

How results used to look

I don’t know if it was a chrome update, or a setting changed etc. Anyone know?

Specs: Win 10, Chrome Version 83.0.4103.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

UPDATE:
People said this may be because I am in a Google test group. So I signed out of my Google account and reloaded the same search and it went back to the non boxed option. So yup, Google decided to place me in a test group without asking or informing. Thanks

It shouldn’t those boxes should not be there around the results

It seems to be that way for me and I haven’t seen it look like the top one on my Windows 10 computer. Layout setting?

Presumably you are just part of a test group for a change.

Not sure how comfortable you are with script changes, but here’s a thread on the Google user support forum with some stuff people have come up with. Just go down to the last half dozen or so posts.

There’s also a Google extension you can install. I haven’t tested it though (and probably will not from my work-owned computer), but you could try it if you’re feeling frisky.

Likely a move done to help seperate the indi vidual results/ads/segments easiere for people to know what the hell is attached to what.

OK...I’m confused...that looks normal to me, i t just looks like normal search results because you searched Google in Google....?

If I go to www.google.ca it looks like this? Is that what you mean?

Kinja'd!!!

My search results look like this?

Kinja'd!!!

The only thing I see different is a box groupin g a particular result?

Haven’t actually used Google as my primary search engine for quite some time, so not sure how it should look.

PS: why the hell hasn’t Kinja still fixed the double image pasting problem?
