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?

    Unpopular opinion: I like the hamburger button. Easy to find at a glance, and I don’t have to guess which sub-menu the settings are in. Now, if you have a hamburger AND 3 dots… 🤬🤬🤬

      Gmail is the best (worst) example of this. They literally have EVERY possible icon for “settings” on the page at once.

      There’s a hamburger button. There’s a three dots button. There’s a NINE DOTS BUTTON. There’s a cog. There’s a slider icon. And you click your profile picture for “manage your account.”

      Hamburger menus are fine if the developer has the restraint to truly limit the number of items, but it can quickly become an unsorted “junk drawer.” And you sometimes still end up with submenus anyway!
