What UI design trend do you hate the most? (lemmy.ml)

I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

Thin scrollbars. Why do I have to aim for a tiny area to click on a scroll bar? Other UI elements aren't that narrow.

This enrages me.

I can't remember the last time I had to click on a scrollbar.

Sometimes scroll wheels break and you don't have money for a new mouse.

Fast scrolling when pageup/pagedown is not available or not enough

Long press the middle mouse button and use the drag scroller.

This is bad UX:

It's disabled by default
It has a different function (open link in new tab)
It can be intercepted and disabled by the webpage
Not as intuitive as a scrollbar

When pageup/down is not available you usually don't have a mouse either. Think of a laptop with a minimalist keyboard or a phone.

I rarely do, but they are very handy for quickly scanning a long document (drag the scroll bar until I see a header, stop, read the header, and keep going).

I use the middle mouse button scroll for that.
