[Bug]: Pressing Enter on "More results" in Google loads a page without "More results" about web-search-navigator

Hi @CyberShadow and thanks for the great bug report!
I was enable to reproduce it and will try to fix it when I have some free time
I'll also try to reproduce the troubleshooting issue later

[CyberShadow]

Thank you kindly for the quick response. Regarding the troubleshooting issue, it's probably something messed up with my system, so don't worry too much about it.

Sure!

I'm still using Arch Linux (and aconfmgr) :)

I started looking at Nix because it allows creating reproducible containers, something which is not really possible with Alpine or Debian-based distributions. It is actually also sort-of possible with Arch Linux, if you use the Arch Linux Archive and set Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/some-date-here, and disable package signature checking... but it's not really intended to be used that way and not as flexible.

I have not tried NixOS as an Arch replacement, so I can't comment on that. However I can recommend at least looking at Nix itself if free time allows; the language (being purely functional and lazily evaluated) is sometimes a little mind-bending, but some of the offered features like reproducible containers or scripts are pretty cool and a good tool to have.

From a quick look, the issue seems to be that the "More results" button is an anchor element (<a>) and the URL points to this strange page where you have no way to navigate further. The current logic we use for navigating is to use the href if it's an <a>, and only click otherwise, hence why it happens:

https://github.com/infokiller/web-search-navigator/blob/master/src/main.js#L533C1-L539C8

It should be easy to fix this by also checking for role=button, though I'll have to check it won't break anything else.

BTW @CyberShadow, I have a completely unrelated question.

Background: I'm a happy user of aconfmgr for 5+ years, so many thanks for creating that project. It's the only tool I found for easy management of my Archlinux system config, and it's what kept from switching to NixOS/Guix.

Now to my question: I spotted Nix in your screencast above and was wondering if you've switched to NixOS, and if so, would you recommend it?

Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful response, and I'm glad you're still using aconfmgr :)
