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

    Websites that look like CVS receipts with their excessive left/right padding. Some L/R padding is desirable, but the degree to which it’s done now is typically done to cram a bajillion ads in the margins.

    Yes, I deplore this. I don’t see ads so I assume it’s due to conform to mobile UIs that have a more vertical aspect rations like 9x16 so the designers don’t have to bother actually designing their website. Fucking Wikipedia did this some time ago. Lemmy does it. I sit here on my desktop using 50% of the screen because web UX designers can’t be arsed.

      Oh, yeah. I forgot about half-assed mobile support being one of the reasons for that. I do responsive design all day in my job, and it’s really not hard. At all. So yeah, like you said, the UX designers just can’t be arsed to do it.

        If you view those sites without adblock you’ll probably find it’s filled with ads DailyMail I’m looking at you.

      Present wisdom is to design something that would work well on mobile first so single column and then make it work on larger screens the easiest way being to keep everything the same except for replacing ☰ with the actual nav menu at a certain width and setting a max width that keeps it looking like stretched out crap.
