> Infinite scroll is annoying because e.g you cannot link to thing Infinite scroll is also annoying because it often breaks when navigating back to the page. Since this is a very popular use case in the context of a search page, I’m not a fan of this change.
It seems trivial for Google to fix if this is truly broken. They could just update the page params while scrolling.

In practice when I go to youtube’s search page (safari mobile), scroll down past infinite scrolling, click a random video and go back, I don’t see the video that I clicked on my screen.
I haven’t seen the google’s search page with infinite scrolling. But even if it works now, I’d be worried that it would break in future, since so many popular websites don’t care about that.
I'm surprised that I'm asking this because I've been such a fan of Google for years....but does anyone have alternative suggestions for Google products? ( Looking for alternative suggestions for: 1. Google Maps (yikes was it bad when I used it this week) 2. Google Docs (such a frustrating lack of features) 3. Google Drive (it's impossible to find anything when you are sharing docs with someone) 4. Google Search (Chat…

> ChatGPT has spoiled me and I find Google Search to be a large waste of time I hope you're not blindly trusting answers. I experimented with ChatGPT for a while and (even when using the GPT-4 model) I would get answers that were false but didn't sound too unreasonable. I could have easily been misled if I didn't already know the answers to the things I was asking it.
nah, still got paging. I use Singaporean IP and on firefox on android.

> You rarely go to even the second page You might not, I do, I do a lot, I even go further. I personally don't like the change at all
But this saves you a click so what do you dislike?
Google pruned their index so radically that it doesn't make a difference anymore. For a bit less common stuff, but yet nothing esoteric, I get to the last page around page 4 or 5. And most of the stuff on those 5 pages are mostly SEO-farm copies of the same stuff. I quit looking for recipes on google. Bought a dozen of recipe books last year. fuck that shit.
As an ex chef, escoffier as a basis, then salt fat acid heat by Samin nosrat. Recipes are a guide for unfamiliar, but once you learn the profiles of each ingredient you can expand greatly. I know it's a bit off your comments and I certainly search myself for new basis to play with, but I hope it helps :-)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed it's harder to find recipes from smaller sites anymore.
