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 because most people don't notice at all, not because they disagree:

Bring back ellipsis to signal a new dialog instead of a complete action. E.g., a button "Save..." opens a dialog where you want to save, whereas a button "Save" saves it immediately

    I didn't know that was a standard until I started working in UIs. It's great when you know, but it's a clear sign that the standard isn't clear enough when everyday users don't realize.
