This happens to me a lot these days - search for something, website/app lists some stuff one of which I’m interested in. But as soon as I move my finger to tap on it, the website/app loads something else and move what I wanted to tap up or down. I unintentionally click another result and get annoyed I have to do the whole thing all over again.

    I never got the hang of touchscreen keyboards. My most common typo is b, v, or n instead of a space when I don’t move my thumb down enough.

    Also, media apps that try to cram in a million gestures on the screen. On VLC, NewPipe, mpv, the swipe to adjust volume and brightness gestures are my worst offenders. Thankfully they can be disabled.

    I want an option to temporarily disable the touchscreen in general so I’m not forced to hold my devices by their amazingly thin bezels when watching a video or showing off an image/QR code. Maybe implementable as an option in the power button long-press menu.
