I don't know what they were thinking, it's clear that whoever they had design their website is not an engineer and has no idea how engineers search for parts.

Many websites are doing the same. I heard that it's because Google Analytics considers it as a positive factor when people spend more time on the website and do more clicks, and puts those website higher in Google search.

 I've noticed this trend with so many sites where you need to do so many clicks for things that are simple.  Ridiculous really.  Wish sites would stop putting so much priority on spying, it's getting so much out of hand.

Facebook is actually HORRIBLE now, you need like 10-20 clicks just to see the comments on a post.  I actually spend way less time on there since the new layout as it's just so frustrating to use.  I guess that's a good thing.   If it was not for the fact all my family is on there I would not use it at all.  The issue is they spy on everything you do even on sites that they don't control, so hard to get away from their spying.

So does anyone have a sample script/plugin/code to automatically check the "In stock" box or n-check the "Marketplace" box or the "More filters" tab that still works?

It's corporatism or state capitalism. A crossbreed of true capitalism and true socialism.
