I just accidentally clicked the “clear all” on the browser URL and wished that it was a bit harder to click but was still there. If it took three clicks to make happen, its still useful in most circumstances but would drastically drop the mistaken clicks
Anyway, what are your unpopular UI opinions?


I prefer a start/taskbar on the right side of the screen. I’m right handed and it just feels natural since square monitors became widescreen. I can’t think of 1 os or desktop manager that defaults to this, and windows 11 requires 3rd party software to even move it there.
I find that vertical panels are inconvenient because text is horizontal so less text gets shown and font sizes get smaller.
Pretty much the only reason this is unpopular is because we’re conditioned to expect it at the top or bottom. Having it on the side is a huge advantage for real estate, especially now that we don’t really have text on window tab thingies anymore.
I prefer text on those (I use KDE Plasma)
