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?

The hamburger button is an abomination, we need the proper menus back

    Here I was going to join this thread to share the controversial opinion of "The hamburger menu is fine," because I thought the general trend was shifting away from using them.

    Admittedly the hamburger menu is often misused. It's like the junk drawer for developers who don't know how to logically streamline the navigation modes within their app, so they just throw everything in there. But when it's used well, to me at least, it's a better option than some of the alternatives. I prefer to have views that I almost never use just kept out of the way in a menu I can manifest at will instead of occupying permanent space on a navigation bar.

    Unfun fact: I taught computer literacy for about a year. The students struggled to see or find the hamburger menu on many pages. Understandably so, because it literally does not look like anything.
