- poor text contrast

- content areas that truncate half a sentence

- expanded content that reveals in a different part of the screen from the place where the teaser lives

- cookie notices - when then problem is not cookies but data exfiltration

- opt-in by default instead of opt out

- accept data exfiltration or don’t use our site

- images with rollovers that hide the image when rolled over

- text content that changes when you toll over

- headers that change size as you scroll so content jumps u predictably

- sticky headers

- sticky footers

- footers with useful content that you can’t read because there’s also an infinite scroller above it

- hamburgers on desktop sites

- landing pages that are 70% negative space

- poster/hero images so large there’s no actual content above the fold

- newsletter subscription modal popovers

- any kind of modal popover that appears mid-way through reading the content

- images with CSS that causes them to shrink when you use screen zoom (amazon product images)

- mistimed animations

- logins with the username and password on separate pages

- password fields you can’t paste into

- “repeat your email” fields

- carousels with differently sized panels so the content below shuffles ip and down whilst you’re reading it

- auto-play videos

- ads every fucking where

- social share buttons



- Daily essentials / safety-critical stuff that requires an account and/or doesn't work reliably anymore (pay for parking, pay to charge car, call 911, etc...)
