Google Give Searchers 'Instant Previews' of Result Pages

First pressing 'Enter' was to much work... now actually clicking on the links and visiting the sites is to much, too... Google is testing instant previews, where you can see a miniature rendered view of the landing page without requiring you to click through and back-arrow.

"Obscuring" meaning shoving results down, and wasting screen space on things I don't want to see yet.

Nice.

I have specific reasons that does not work for me! is completely missing the point and destroying what made them valuable to me! I choose to ignore that disable or transparently work around because ... sucks for me! People who like obviously don't know what they're doing, and probably have some sort of mental defect that causes them to not see that it sucks!

Personally, I don't mind the instant search. Maybe it's because I have a decent enough computer and connection that it really is nearly instantaneous. I actually find it incredibly impressive that Google can generally return search results and suggestions that match what I wanted before I'm even done typing. I don't know that it's much more useful than the older "type query->submit" method, but it certainly isn't any worse for my usage.
