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?

    Colorblind people exist and should be able to use the site. At least, based on my real experience, this must be an unpopular opinion amongst UI folks glares

      That’s something I appreciate about the WordPress “block editor”; it tells you when you’ve changed colors in a way that is hard to read for some people. I wish more design software did that automatically.

        Modern browsers have tools for this built in. Lack of accessibility is a choice.

      Quick question and I’m very happy with a RTFM type response: Any chance you’re red-green colour blind and can share some with what that’s like because the good-bad representation seems pretty pervasive in society?

        I’ve actually got some level of all three types. My wife was trying to get me to play Puyopuyo tetris and it was driving me crazy that no combination in their colorblind menu worked for me.

        The biggest downsides are graphs and stuff like that. Things just look like the same color to me. In my case, blue and purple, yellow and green, and red and green, just depending upon the hues involved. Most modern traffic signals, especially here in Japan, use a combination that is fine for me and not confusing at all.

        I can’t really describe much better since I don’t know what it’s like not to be like this.

        Edit to add: MMOs (and websites about them) often sucked because I could not tell the difference between gold and copper. The whole loot system color thing was also bad since blue/purple and other difficulties. There were some games I probably trashed epic gear thinking it was common.

          That reminds me that the traffic lights in Japan are blue for green / go. So that’s better for you? Do you know if that’s historic, or because of colourblindness?

            I have no idea the history/reasoning behind it, honestly. A “green light” is “ao shingo” in Japanese which would mean “blue signal”. Historically (I’m not sure until which year), Japanese just lumped everything under blue with words to describe the shade as necessary.
