Currently, I can eliminate probably 100 unlikely matches in an hour. Unless they introduce pagination and allow you to keep your place, you have to scroll past all the known matches each time you want to investigate a distant match.

Under the new system, I simply won't spot the distant matches, particularly if there are spelling variants in the name.

Again, under the new system, a lot of the parishes I am interested in are simply not listed by Ancestry, so place name searches are pretty useless.
But can't you set your filter so it only shows you matches that you haven't viewed before? (Or have they all been set to "viewed" because you used a browser extension to process them?)
