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.
If the app or website is built well. Basically never.
If the developer was doing lines or crack while creating the interface that there’s a good chance I’ll misclick.
These days more then I’d like I misclick
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.
If you’re talking about getting ads, I don’t get any cuz I use Brave browser
Disclaimer: never use Brave browser, it’s really bad. The CEO is an asshole, and they promote crypto and scams, while still showing their own ads. They also got caught sneakily adding affiliate codes to URLs. (https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/)
Use firefox or any firefox derivative with ublock origin (yes, even on android)
I use Brave on Android bro
One of my pet peeves is is Office, where the list of recently-used files updates one half of a microsecond before I click
When my ad blocker is doing what it’s supposed, not nearly as much, but yeah, especially on mobile news sites. They’ll just aggressively blast you with constant shit loading in.
No account on reddit so it has a popup to make an account. More often than not, if you are not touching the close button accurately, touching any part of the screen immediately sends you to the signup page. Another reason why I barely touch that website anymore.
uBlock Origin, my dear stranger :) “Social annoyances” should do the trick, IIRC.
But yes, the site is still despicable. Although it hosts a lot of great information, unfortunately.
