I prefer copying the link to the page I'm on to share. No popups, native or otherwise.
Similarly, I like not having an app running so that you could just send me a text. Sms is bad for security, but great see sending short notifications. Almost better, as it is so limited.
FYI on Chrome/Brave Android, when you use 'share' button -> copy URL, it uses link rel=canonical meta tag if available (which generally doesn't have all FB tracking crap in the URL etc.)
The problem on mobile devices is that URL bar is single-line and has like 30 characters length and , while query string crap is sometimes several hundreds characters long. It's not every ergonomic.
But yeah I often copy the URL to "notepad" app before sharing and trim manually.
Yep unfortunately true. I recently saw an official document from local CDC in my home country. There were two URLs "find more info at" in the document:
This is also why most non power users will have chrome browsers loaded with tons of add-ons and basically let every site start sending notifications...
Except that with web push the block button is two taps away. Once I’ve given away my phone number that’s it, it can be sent to anyone, I can receive messages from anywhere.
Is this a thing that happens often? Used to, your phone number was in a publicly available book. Pretty sure we use legislation to block abuse of that kind.
Similarly, used to, my browser was not a bloated application capable of sending me messages. Such that there have been times just launching chrome I get notifications I didn't know my family were going to accidentally enable...
I still get more robo calls on landlines than on my cell. Conveniently, my cell is in a different area code from where I live, so even easy to spot the bad ones. And I have never gotten an unsolicited text. That wasn't a wrong number.
The most used feature in Microsoft Office is the Paste button in the toolbar:
> What we didn't know until we analyzed the data was that even though so many people do use CTRL+V and do use "Paste" on the context menu, the toolbar button for Paste still gets clicked more than any other button. The command is so incredibly popular that even though there are more efficient ways of using it, many people do prefer to click the toolbar button.
As soon as you put so much in the toolbar, people have to use a mouse. That they are still taking the most naturally used action shouldn't be surprising.
