If there’s one annoyance to Google search with Safari on our Macs, it’s constantly clicking through pages to see more results. Google forces us to click on the next page even though there are a lot of ads pushing search results down the page. The second and third pages of search results can often be more useful than the first.

Many of the Responses to the tweetGoogle was contacted by the victim to clarify their feelings. Continue scrolling can be an option but it’s doubtful Google will backtrack. When announcing the change to Safari on the iPhone and other mobile browsers, Google said “most people who want additional information tend to browse up to four pages of search results” and the change will make multiple pages of results “easier to scan and navigate.”
