What’s the most pointless trend in modern web design?
If we check the top comments, the top 5 annoying things are:
1. scroll hijacking
2. cursor changed into a circle
3. animating everything on scroll
4. another round of useless animations (and cookie notifications / pop-ups)
5. hijacking browser back button / links (as in forcing them to open in a new tab).
