Is this a cleaner look? I have always loved visible scroll bars because they act as useful guides for where I am on a page and how much content remains and just easy to drag. Now you have to hover over it first.
I am curious what UX changes have stood out to you lately, for better or worse.. Maybe some designers reading this forum will take notes.
Windows 11. The "EOL" of Windows 10 could also be considered a UX choice.
I also recently upgraded from an iPhone 13 mini to a 17, and I'm still not used to the larger screen size. Phones that can fit comfortably in your hand and pockets are in short supply.
AI-"enhanced" Autocorrect can be a nightmare, especially when you're talking about niche topics, or different languages.
Infinite scroll and addiction-as-product-design is a scourge on many.
Previously non-algorithmic news sources that now algorithmically feed you headlines.
Lots of websites have a slightly-but-noticeably degraded experience on Firefox.
The Internet at large without uBlock Origin.

Most of these are not design "choices" though, they are profit motivated. Good and/or humanist design often tends to be at odds with profit these days because attention is currently primary vector of exploitation for companies.
"More Usage" != "Good Design", but people do like to be employed and receive a paycheck, myself included.

I read text and sometimes I can interact and click/tap it for some action but other times it is just text. Not having a visual distintion between those two seems hostile. But maybe I'm just showing my age.
