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 just stopped using Libre Writer and switched to OnlyOffice because it was impossible to get a normal goddamn scroll bar in an application literally designed around scrolling text. Holding the scroll Arrow button to scan for something is impossible because there are no scroll Arrow buttons.

    But OnlyOffice has a Header navigation tool, too, so fuck Libre Writer right in the face.

    Auto hide bullshit scroll bars should be illegal on desktop. Who the fuck needs that 7 extra pixels on desktop?

    I now have very strong opinions about scroll bars.

      Scroll bars don’t just let you scroll, they tell you where you are. If I’m reading and wonder how much I have left to go, I want to be able to just glance at the scroll bar, I don’t want to have to wave the pointer around to make to scroll bar appear. Fuck people’s anal-retentive fetish for “cleanness”.
