Navigate Paged Websites with comfort

Every blog does it. Google does it. Many newspapers and web magazines do it. Ebay does it. Amazon does it. All have their websites divided into pages. If you take Google for example they divide the search results on different pages. Magazines divide their articles into chapters that generate more page impressions and display more advertisement at the same time.

Users normally navigate those websites by clicking on the numbered pages which can be quite confusing on some pages. Some users do open a printable page instead which can be found on most websites that have their articles separated to be able to read the whole article in one go.

Next Please is a small Firefox add-on which adds comfort to navigating paged websites. The add-on adds several buttons which are delivered in their own toolbar that can be used to navigate those websites. The four buttons load the first page, the last page, the next page and the previous page with a click each.

I decided to move them from their own toolbar to my main toolbar and get rid of the Next Please toolbar completely. Users who do not have that much space can use keyboard shortcuts instead and get rid of the buttons altogether.

You might be asking how it works. That’s easy to explain. The add-on searches for phrases, images on websites that would lead to the next, previous, first and last page. What I like is that you can add phrases and images to the add-on to further customize it and make it work for your favorite websites as well.

It is working here at Ghacks as well. I love it.
