This is the list of removals of functionality in products that are logically not justified and irrational. The list also includes behavioural changes and annoying additions. ## **Table columns explained:** * ***Entity:*** Name of the software, product, website, etc. * ***Type of change:*** Feature removal, Behavioural change, Added annoyance. * ***Change:*** What exactly changed negatively. Includes alleged reason if provided. * ***Logical dispute:*** Rebuttal for why that change is negative and should not have been done. * ***Workaround:*** Possible solution or alternative for the lack of that functionality. Links to a post, if too long. # **List:** | Entity | Type of change | Change (+ alleged reason) | Logical dispute | Workaround |---|---|---|---|---| | Google Chromium / Chrome for Android (software) | Feature removal | Removal of *enable-accessibility-tab-switcher* in *chrome://flags* by developer David Trainor, *[“to trim down chrome://flags size.”](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/8cf3626120e3949f9718b626217bf93b8b6d2545)*. | The whole original purpose of *`chrome://flags`* is having many advanced features, fine options and settings for power users. Also, *`chrome://flags`* has a built-in search feature anyway. | Rooted Android users might be able to downgrade the app without losing all app data. ## **Historical** These irrational changes have already been undone in the successors of the respective entities. | Entity | Type of change | Change (+ alleged reason) | Logical dispute | Undone since |---|---|---|---|---| | Some Samsung phones (product) with Android 6.0 / higher (software) | Added annoyance | *“[Camera has been opened via quick start](https://poal.co/s/LostFeatures/134677)”* pop-up | A pop-up that occasionally blocks the camera viewfinder **defeats the purpose of quick launch.** ---- This list is not nearly complete. This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you have any suggestions for new list items or improvements to the tables, **please write it in the comments.** ^(Trivia: This post was originally going to be named *“List of idiotic changes”*, but I decided to choose a more respectful name.) ## **Also see:** * [Rank list of hostile moderators and administrators](https://poal.co/p/132568) — Warning users infront of hostility and striving to make the Internet more peaceful. * [List of features removed from Android](http://archive.is/xZu6k) – Archive link because of unexpected deletion by *Bbb23*, the Internet's most hostile known administrator.
