Yes. It pisses me off, even though I use page down or scrolling myself, because it's so arrogant of Google to constantly make changes like this and not give people any say in what they want. And because so many other people just accept it and assume Google know best when they blatantly don't.
I keep trying to get myself to switch to DuckDuckGo (
ddg.gg) because it actually lets people
configure how they want things to work.
Although, for the specific thing you dislike - navigating results with cursors instead of scrolling the page - you have to disable all the keyboard shortcuts for that.
But they also allow you to send in
feedback which they do actually respond to, so if you like the rest of the site see if they might support configurable shortcuts.
