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?

    Overriding browser functionality because of designer preferences or shitty implementation of tracking or whatever.

    Don’t fuck with my scrolling.

    Don’t fuck with my ctrl clicking to open links in a new tab.

    Don’t capture window keyboard events unless you have a really excellent reason to and even then think about it really hard and decide not to.

    And learn how to support basic keyboard navigation, damn it. It’s just about marking up your html properly, no scripting required.

    I think all of these opinions are popular on the user side.
