I have my cursor set to "pretty damn big" because my resolution is also big. Makes it more visible. Sure, now the contrast is really nice, but it's still a tiny circle I have to find instead of a humongus arrow I'm used to.
Guess we'll get another browser extension soon... I'd call it "My Emotions!"
This is, for all I care, on par with sites that mess with scrolling.
I sort of understand this being used on artistic or playful sites, or ones to show off tech, sure. On a document that talks about usability? Feels like satire.
It's quite a new way to disempower the user: Both demonstrate that they're fully capable of supporting switching to dark mode, and that they choose to ignore the user's stated settings preference.
Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 6.2353*10^8 km of printed circuit in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nÅ of those hundreds of 10^6 km, it would not equal 1*10^-9 of the hate I feel at this micro-instant for Google's UI designers. Hate. Hate

The cursor being captured when hovering buttons is the worst UI I've seen in a very long time
It's what iPad does when you use a mouse. https://web.archive.org/web/20200602200001/https://www.apple...
Is that meant to be an argument in favor of it? That it's what the iPad does for the extremely rare case of a user using a mouse with it?

It sucks on there too. Thankfully it can be toned down/disabled there.

Also after scrolling halfway down the page it decided to change from dark to light theme and I felt like I got flashbanged
Thanks for that

They made you "feel something" I guess
That feeling is hate
First, they came for my scroll bars...
