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

    I also hate this, but I wouldn’t call that an UI trend. It’s caused by the browser and it’s rather a bad UX I think.

      The browser implements the text selection behaviour, but how infuriating it is depends on how convoluted your page construction is.

      On a simple page with no floats, overlaid elements, negative margins, absolute positioning, hidden stuff, and other css layout tomfoolery, it’s perfectly predictable. It’s only when designers do designer things does it start to break down.

        floats, overlaid elements, negative margins, absolute positioning

        A lot of these techniques aren’t really used any more. We’re old lol. Modern web design uses CSS grid, or at least Flexbox. I haven’t seen a float or absolute positioning in years.

          I know, but those techniques are more likely to cause selection weirdness than flexbox/etc, which is why I mention them specifically.
