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’m not familiar with swipe on Android but I know that:

    • swipe to go back one level in an app, or
    • swipe to either side for next item in the parent list

    both get really frustrating if you do a lot of text selection since they will fire for the wrong thing and you’ll have to restart. Especially on text fields where you’ve typed before the swipe triggered.

    I disabled swipe for back in the web browser on a mac too. When you’re scrolling up and down so much it doesn’t take too much for that to misfire and for you to lose work, or on a slow internet connection need to wait for the page to load again
