Hi Mac friends. In an age of a lot of RAM, websites are still not all continuous or infinite scroll, they still let you click 'Next' making you render a page at time and sometimes there are hundreds of pages that the search result has showed (eBay, Amazon is also a culprit- the results should just be infinite scroll, there should be no 'Next' page or numbered pages).

Searching for things would be faster, especially on shopping platforms if they had infinite scrolls. No many mind the ads on the sides anyway, some sites don't even have changing ads to need a numbered page for the search results or category.

Is there a browser extension or something simliar that'll force convert any website to continuous/infinite scroll (like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook- infinite/continous scroll, I theorize is the element that makes social media and sites addicting), like how Safari can force a japanese to english translation?

Thank you, have a blessed week.
 
Thanks. I tried Userscripts it doesn't work, still not continuous scroll. I restarted Safari as well but it's still not infinite scroll.

Which one do you use, the Usercripts app or the one in Github?

The reason for using Userscripts app from the App Store (and not its version from Github repository) is laid down here. The actual userscript ran by the app is obviously the one from Github with some adjustments for each webpage.

Thanks any tutorial (there's a 3rd step it seem that needs an implementation file) to make it work and also how to uninstall it?

Likely due to design issue. Processing hundreds of pages is extra overhead.

You can normally skip to a specific page if that option is not available by modifying the page number in the URL:

page=2&crid=JG1N7LIAWHOG&qid=1694824550&sprefix=iphone+15%2Caps%2C150&ref=sr_pg_2
