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 absolutely hate those scrolling number pickers, like on alarm apps. Just pop up the numpad and I can enter a time in 2-4 taps, not 2-3 coarse scrolls of minutes, a fine scroll to the minute I actually want, then repeat that process on the hours.

I like when they have both, like the roller thing you can click to input a number, best of both worlds.

Samaung at least in their apps I canbtap on the number to type it instead of scrolling.

On the same vein, date pickers. Just let me type the damn date instead of having to choose on your virtual calendar.

especially when you're uber old like me and need to go back 4 decades to choose DOB

I hate it when the numbers affect each other too, so if you roll back on the minutes, the hour changes too. It's awful.
