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?

Rounded corners everywhere. I mean, subtle rounded corners can look nice here and there, but they are not subtle and there are too much of them. Also, those capsule shaped buttons and text boxes. I hate them, they look so stupid.

    While I think a lot of people agree with you, this is a real unpopular opinion to me. I love capsule shapes and large radii. I like my ui to feel soft, not pointy. shrug

    Rounded corners do create a lot of opportunity to implement it poorly, though. I see a lot of rounded corners that aren't concentric, or worse, are inconsistently rounded (For example, I'm extremely irritated by some US highway road signs where the border is rounded but the square corners are left on)
