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

Android:

  • those damn huge quicksettings buttons
  • the combined internet toggle
  • animations being literally required for a stable UI
  • showing all media playback on lockscreen for everyone picking up my phone

Linux:

  • Gnome with their tablet-like UI on laptops, close-button not in the very edge of the corner etc.
  • KDEs sharp ugly icons. The style before, in the Windows7 era, was crazy and maybe not really modern. But the small breeze icons look too sharp and kinda weird. I like the rest of the icons though

Every website needing Javascript to load stuff. Not needed, and with HTML and CSS you can do so much!

The vast majority of websites could be made to work just fine without any Javascript at all. I do kind of miss the era where enough people weren't using it that website designers had to fall back cleanly for browsers that didn't have it enabled.

I used to despise the huge quick settings buttons when they first came out, but I've grown to really like them. I had to use an older phone without the new quick settings and I noticed I really preferred the new ones because they're easier to press and just feel way more polished. I am upset that we don't just have the option of choosing between either one though...

Yes! Also I somehow now like gestures. Still better than ios, as ios still has no back button hahahahhaha.

But I think the 2-button gestures were supreme, and they simply got removed. Noone uses them? Well of course they are not default and people dont care...

So iOS has no back button, since ever. This is the stupidest thing you can do.

the combined internet toggle

you can go to the settings of the notification's pull down menu (the one that you can add/remove tiles) (pencil icon), remove the combined internet button, and add 2 separate buttons for wifi and mobile data. It could be relevant to the ROM though so I'm not sure if it exists in all phones.
