All the search result links in Safari Google are purple, like they've been opened already

I noticed this a few days ago but thought it would fix itself. It hasn't, and it's become quite disruptive to my browsing.

All search result links while using Google in Safari show up purple, or roughly the same color that links normally become once you've clicked on them. This is a departure from the typical blue that such links are colored in.

I don't really know what could've caused this or how to fix it. I've read about cases where links stay blue even after clicking on them, but I've never seen anyone reporting the same issue of all links being the purple color. And no, the links do not turn to the normal blue color once I have clicked on them.

The issue is present in the Safari app with Google as the browser. My iOS is 15.7.

EDIT: It appears there is a difference between the color of clicked links and non-clicked, but the tint has definitely darkened on non-clicked. I'm attaching a screenshot of a clicked and not-clicked links side by side in the general search function, and the same in the news function. Notice that the unclicked links in the news section are bright blue, which is what I'm used to.
