Oh, okay I see your problem now. I forgot that Google Search will take advantage of the browser feature to scroll-to-text.
I think most in the comment chain were thinking of the case of sending a link to a friend where you want them to be scrolled to some specific text. I often want to create these links for others when linking to long pages, or technical documentation.
I haven’t tried Brave (the crypto stuff puts me off), but if you’re interested in a good alternative to Google Search (that doesn’t link text fragments) you should check out Kagi. It’s paid, but it’s worth funding a Google competitor on principle IMO.
Thankfully switching to Brave solved my issue and this stupid feature is disabled.
