Deeply irritated this morning by #firefox on #ios. I accidentally closed a tab by swiping it very slightly. I can’t reopen the closed tab, and I can’t even see what it was. Three UX failures in one thumb twitch.
Now I have an unscratchable itch in the back of my mind that I may have deleted something important and I HATE IT.
Swipe gestures are a UX disaster. An analogue minefield of digital traps, hair thin distinctions and accessibility barriers.

Swipe gestures are deeply user hostile. Got a hand tremor? Fuck you. Over 70? Fuck you. Forgot which swipe direction is which? Fuck you. Got a rugged case that prevents you swiping up from the very edge of the screen? Haha, fuck you. #firefox #ios
