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?

    If it doesn’t need JavaScript, it shouldn’t have JavaScript.

    If it doesn’t need dynamic styling, it shouldn’t have dynamic styling (especially if it makes other elements move around or become occluded).

    If it doesn’t need images, it shouldn’t have images. When it does need images, they should be in an appropriate format and minimum useful filesize.

    It shouldn’t have audio. It doesn’t need audio, and should not have it.

      I develop JS for a living, but for my personal site I faced the burden of PHP to load it directly, and kept minimal JS. I’ve had people note to me how quickly it loads.
