  n : a[class^=next],a[rel=next],a:contains("Next"),a:contains("Older"),a:contains("More")

  A work in progress, but working on many sites. Just type ?n on a results page or listing, and it looks for the “Next” button (or “older posts”, “more results”, etc.).

  Interesting idea. Sorry about the overflow, I need to fix the formatting for code blocks.

  If you’re feeling crazy, you could always steal my code here .

  Great, but doesn’t work on pages like Reddit that have the “next” link with a lowercase “n.” Fixed by adding “a:contains(“next”)
