There are also those headers that auto-hide when you scroll down, but pop back up at the slightest upward scroll, blocking the line at the top of the screen that you were trying to read.
Whatβs what I mean. They only appear when you approach them.
It makes it take 10x more effort to see something that just disappeared above your view.
This feature is long gone, at least I've not encountered it in a long time, but background music.
Holy cow, how I hated those π€£
Forgetting your place after logging in or switching between mobile and desktop modes.
When a website features an (embedded) video at the top and you need to scroll down to read the text unterneath the video:
If not disabled by your browser, the video playback starts. You stop the video. You beginn to scroll down to read the text unter the video, because you don't want to watch the video. Now the video pops out and begins to play and hovers over the area where the text is displayed.
News websites are prone to this behavior.
I hate websites that either don't have a reject all cookies button or they make it suuuuper tiny and put it so close to the big accept button which causes you to accidentally hit accept if you're on mobile
Online supermarket websites. Just because I have purchased it once that doesn't mean it's a 'favourate'.
Some even have a 'things you have purchased before' feature, but they still ruin the idea of a favourites list
Trying to make textareas better, which tends to make them worse. I'd settle for predictable.
