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?
Side bars on anything throw me off because they break the horizontal symmetry of whatever they’re a part of.
Old Ubuntu when the taskbar was vertical on the left, browsers that have the default bookmark bar on the left or the right. Apps where all of the dialogues are bunched to one side, offsetting the main workspace.
Maybe I’m just Slightly on the spectrum, I don’t know, never been diagnosed. But not having my workspace centred and symettrical kind of breaks my brain a bit.
Also hate it, also on the spectrum.
For me:
Either the taskbar is bottom or bottom.
Any side bar is (if possible) disabled.
If theres unecessary white space: Fuck that. Delete that right now (looking at you firefox)
Oddly enough, I liked sidebars because they left more vertical real estate available for endless scrolling in browsers and auto-hide on some taskbars can get flaky.
But then again I go out of my way to find 16:10 monitors, so maybe take that with a grain of salt.
Sidebars are awesome when you are using the trackpad.
I also like when you have to click on the page to scroll down but virtually the whole page clicks through to somewhere else. Nice.
I’m being sarcastic btw
