When I use Safari on my iPhone to search with Google I’m forced to open a new tab for every link. How do I fix this?

Recently I’ve noticed that when I use my iPhone to search Google using Safari it forces me to open a new tab every time I click on a link. It’s not the end of the world but it can get annoying and lead to me having a lot of tabs open at once. Any idea on how I can fix this? I’m not sure if it’s a Safari problem or a Google problem though.

iPhone 7, iOS 12
