what’s with websites like google that requires username press enter then new screen then password is it to gently caress up password managers? sometimes it feels like some websites try to make it more difficult to use pass word managers

i think its so that if your username has an external auth provider like okta then google will kick you over to them after the username is entered

my last employer had that because some architect type guy said "it's more secure." maybe it is but he never explained how to my satisfaction

i should clarify that at this last job we did not support any other auth providers, this was just to log in to the company's own bespoke auth provider

tiktok has a pretty good ui/ux all over the desktop website is very good. all the tools work well and the iphone app works so well. making the video fullscreen and putting the controls on the video is actaully a great idea, because they all work so well. its so smooth going between videos. its good. im risking it all by making this claim

not sure if this is bad ux or if i'm the problem here, but regular-clicking twitter links on this forum opens them in the same tab but also wipes the back button history which is a real pain when i forget to right click->new tab them e: nvm it looks like they open in new tabs by default now, i've been afraid to even try for a while

I really hate this new trend where clicking an image on a web page opens it into a full screen popup overlay, but you have to close it by clicking the X in the corner, because clicking the back button to close it will take you back two pages. So like you google "Subnautica crabsquid," click the first Google link and go directly to the game wiki page, start reading the article, click a picture of a crabsquid, press back on your mouse to close the picture, and rather than returning to the article, now you're back at the Google search results. And then it's even more hosed up because when you click the forwards button, it skips over the article again and returns you to the blown up image! What the gently caress! I know that it's because the JavaScript to open the image doesn't count as a loading a new page from the browser's standpoint, and there's some garbage going on there. But from the user's standpoint, opening the image absolutely feels like a new page and the back button should return you to where you were. This is the only case ever where I think hijacking the back button is correct, because the alternative is just loving infuriating.

am i crazy or does chrome(-derived browsers) actually on back also sometimes elide an intervening page (which absolutely does have a separate url and seeming http get) when you click through fast or by some criteria like that? or is it some stealth javascript failure i am seeing?

yeah lol, google search has some js that fires on link click, replacing the link you clicked with their analytics redirect garbage.

Yes! I was going to mention that too because it seems very similar to the image loader annoyance. Sometimes you'll go from the Google search page a couple pages deep, then go back a few steps and you cannot get back to the search results. It skips directly from the first page you visited to a new tab page, going right past the search results page, I assume because of this clickjacking bullshit. I loving hate it

some blogs are pretty good. there's no cruft, just text. some of the clients are really nice and you can easily customise stuff to suit you (eg big high contrast text if you have bad eyesight) every so often some genius techbro comes up with a great proposal for tracking users or adding blog paywalls (with cryptocurrency of course)... fortunately it seems like they just get ignored.

I have some actual bad ux to whine about for a minute. My work laptop connects through one of these turds. The cable is incredibly stiff, the connector is even more awkward and easily damaged than you can imagine and the entire top surface is a power button: https://i.imgur.com/8gtp4VV.jpg None of our Important Business Software can recover if your session gets disconnected, and the program we do our most time-consuming work in can fail silently so you only find out when you can't save next time you try. Accidentally put the laptop to sleep plugging something into the dock? Network drops because you moved the laptop an inch and the flaky connector got dislodged? Hope you saved recently because you're hosed now!

hey can i just say i loving loathe that every single time adobe updates InDesign (which i can't stop, because it's all creative cloud bullshit!) it resets my workspace to the new "essentials" layout, which has no tools in it? stop loving with my interface configuration!! i have it the way i like it for a reason!! it should be illegal to force an update that changes the UI on any software that is used professionally by anyone anywhere on the planet. i don't care if you think it's better for workflow or something. maybe it is. i'll figure that out on my own. right now i need to do work and you need to quit loving with me
