Alright, we’re piling onto this comment. So let me complain about clicking a Google result, immediately realizing I want the result beneath, hitting back and clicking, just in time for a “more like this” panel to drop down below the first result.
Surely Google has to know how bad this is. Why have they not changed it? It makes no sense to me. It is so frustrating how slowly these big companies move.
Because fixing this is not a new feature that would get the project manager a promotion. (I think that's the usual answer for the multitude of silly bugs while harebrained new "features" creep in.)
The same stupid behavior is what often gets people to click ads. Surely they could load the ads at the same time as the results, but no, they make them come in just slightly later, right as you're about to click a link.
Man, Google is so frustrating to use.
