In an age of 24″ widescreen monitors, why do many people stick with a long scrolling page format for search results — more suited to the age of the accounting ledger?
When the results could look like this…
How? Here’s my recipe:
The Firefox web browser, with the GreaseMonkey addon. Then add the Google 100 GreaseMonkey script, and set it to show 24 results per search page. Add the GoogleMonkeyR script, and set it up to show three columns (and to remove clutter such as “Related searches” and “Sponsored Links”).
You’ll never scroll on search-results again.
I’m assuming you already have AdBlock Plus installed on Firefox, to remove all Google text ads. The GreaseMonkey script New Google Ad-block may also be of interest, to block the page-integrated ads that Google is now adding to results.
