Click a link and need to go back 10x to get back. Yes, I enjoy the footballs.

Also: Algorithmic generated feeds where you try to click on one thing, but you click on the next thing in the list and when you click back, the feed looks completely different because it has new information on you. That thing you wanted to click on is gone and will never return.

Youtube recommended videos does this. Not a huge issue because I can always search for the video myself but it's annoying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Ugh yes.

Though on desktop I've completely switched over to using FreeTube, and I've been loving it. The order of the videos in the feed does not change. It's great.

thats the reason why i always open links with middle click to open a new tab. helps with the above fuckery too.

...and now you've hit upon my other peeve: (mostly shopping) sites coded to disable browsing links in a new tab...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Perhaps it's because I never raw dog the web, and using uBlock Origin on "medium mode" somehow fixes it, but I don't think I have ever experienced that.

I have experienced sites that block right clicking, and that has always infuriated me. But I was able to get a little FF extension that disables right click blocking on websites. Which is pretty useful for downloading videos on sites that try to stop you from downloading their videos (though some have wisened up and can completely disable the ability to save a video through that method. The "save video as" option is completely greyed out). yt-dlp usually works in those cases, or one of the countless web-based video downloaders... but still annoying.

...ah, i may be conflating contextal menus with opening new tabs, since that's the primary UI mode i use to do so: regardless, any kind of shenanigans which aim to disable application-level UI get under my skin...

That belongs on /c/extremelyenraging.

What's worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn't do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

That's actually how I do my Lemmy feed. I have one chance to comment on a thread and if I don't do it, when the page refreshes I lose it forever.

I've learned to accept that there are just some things the universe never wanted me to comment on.

I'd love that, my entire frontpage is the same 30 things over and over unless I deliberately sort for something then it's a DIFFERENT 30 things over and over

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Try some different sorting options. I've found "Active" and "Hot" to be kind of shitty (though to be fair, I haven't really used them in like 6 months so maybe they're better).

I usually go for "Top 6 Hours" or "Top 12 Hours" for stuff that's not too old and relatively active.

Now is your chance to finally let it all out...
