You shouldnt conflate browser defaults with good usability.
Sure its generally speaking a good rule of thumb to follow but saying the default is the right thing to do because its a default is a logical fallacy. Its appealing to authority for no actual reason.
Why is the default the default? Is it because of user studies or is it because a developer said thats the easiest thing to implement in the time i have available.

- ogre_codes 7y ago> You shouldnt conflate browser defaults with good usability. It's a fair point, but rather vague. Perhaps if you gave an example of where you disagree it might be more useful a criticism. BRK's page is not ideal by any means and I don't think my post or the original article suggested as much.
