10yrs ago if have said yes… however, I feel like page 1 is only ads and images to ads and sponsored content so I end up on page 2 anyway, so now I have to click a button.

Absolutely, this change makes it harder for people to quickly scroll away ads at the top & for ad blockers to seamlessly hide ads. With ad blockers your first page will be mostly empty & make google more annoying to use.

That was the whole point. They’re making sure you don’t scroll past that first page.

At some point they’ll probably just show a full page unskippable ad after you press search. 😄

I remember the time page 2 of google was equivalent to an underground crypt.

How the times deteriorate
