Google Search Brings Continuous Scrolling to Desktop Users in the US

[Phantom iCloud tabs]

Don’t care. I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo years ago and never looked back.

DDG relies overwhelmingly on Bing's engine, though obviously DDG has the good privacy policies. Bing's engine has not performed well in my own daily usage, so I avoid both Bing and DDG.

I finally gave up using DDG because it pretty much sucks in the USA - so I thought I’d try Google again after a 7 year hiatus.
Google now sucks like 10X worse than it used to. So now I’m back to DDG. They’re both godawful.

The problem is that the web sucks anymore. Too many sites doing low grade or automated content and clever SEO just to get clicks on the search engines. They are drowning out the actual useful pages and Google can't keep up.

This is purely for the low-attention-span TikTok generation that can't be arsed to press for a next page of results.

Did we learn nothing from the Boomer/Millenial wars?

I'm sure Google will give us a setting to turn this off right after they figure out what their messaging app of the month is.

Shortly after inventing the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell received his first call to offer him an extended car warranty

That might help people when their website is on page 2

It's fine. Just tell me how to change back to what it was before (and I do hope this will be an option)

Vintage Google. "If it ain't broken, break it." Possibly one of the worst "innovations" of the late-ish internet, continuous scrolling. A surefire way to bring a browser to its knees in due time, too (hello, insane RAM occupation?). Sometimes, at Google, seems their collective IQ isn't any higher than room temperature.

It sucks.

 

[svish]

Don't know how useful this will be.

 

[dysamoria]

Ah yes, infinite scrolling: the worst web “innovation” since advertising.

 

[The_Cynic]

I wonder how this will change the massively competitive business of “first page” SEO.

They can assure every customer they will get them on page 1…

I hate continuous scrolling.

 

[usmaak]

So what is the best search engine that's not Google. It's usable with continuous scroll, but I hate it and it makes me want to use something else.

Ugh. This is terrible on mobile, now I have to deal with it on the desktop too?
