I figure a thread of this kind, where people can express dismay over minor things out of their control that gets on their nerves, could be a fun idea, to see what little first world problems are struggling with.
Note: I'm not actually looking for any solution, I'm just annoyed by decisions being made outside of my control.
So with that out of the way, here's my boggle:
As a long time user of various browsers (now using Chrome), I've come to love the backspace key if I don't have a mouse with back/forward buttons, or I'm on my laptop casually using my trackpad. However today, to my great dismay, I discover that the people making the Chrome browser has decided that backspace is no longer to be used for going back a page any more, because it inconveniences users that apparently don't know how to computer, and use backspace incorrectly and go back a page when they were trying to edit something in a form they were filling out.
Now I don't give a flying f*** that these useless a**hats are so bad at browsing that they don't check where the piece of **** edit marker is before they hit backspace.... ahem.
So now they're making me use alt+arrow keys to navigate back and forth. So why does this annoy me? It would be because it requires a two-hand motion to do it comfortably, whereas using backspace is as simple as moving one hand up to where I know backspace is located, and press it. Instead I now have to check what I'm pressing to make sure I hit alt+left arrow. It inconveniences browsing in a very minor, but most egregious manner, as it requires me to connect several dots before I can do the action that I'm looking for, breaking down the smooth flow of braindead browsing used in serious procrastination.
And the same thing goes for another feature that I came to love with my Dell laptop, before Win10 and it's user unfriendly "everybody gets treated the same" features happened; the three-finger swipe. Back in the old days of Win8.1, my laptop had an option to use three-finger swipe as a means to move back and forth, be it in folders, browsers, or any other program that allowed me to move back and forth between pages/files/images. But this feature was taken away from me because Microsoft decided to unify all touchpad features in Win10, making three-finger swipe the same as alt+tab, which is useless, because if you want to alt+tab, you can just use mother****ng alt+tab, since that's what it's there for! (If Win10 has some options to change this, then they are being kept away from me thanks to Synaptics' drivers).
"But Twinrehz", I hear you all say, "why not just go back to Win8.1, and change your browser?" Because that's not what I want. I love win10, apart from that one little wrench in my gears of happiness; and I'm not changing my browser because I like chrome, it keeps my history and bookmarks and whatnot across all two of my computers (and my phone). Having to switch browser when I've settled for one I like is like going for a pizza with puke on it when you could instead have the one you prefer.
Yes I am petty, but so are most first world problems. So there, let's hear your little annoyances.
