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.
- bluepod4 3y agoIt seems trivial for Google to fix if this is truly broken. They could just update the page params while scrolling.

- thih9 3y agoIn theory yes. 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.
- bluepod4 3y agoIn practice, it works if it’s implemented like on the desktop version of YouTube. Maybe there’s a reason why popular websites don’t care? Why “worry” about (possibly) expected features “breaking”? Seems extreme. Bugs happen. Sometimes they get fixed. Sometimes they don’t.
