I couldn't tell you the last 10 bugs I saw (they are too frequent and varied to memorize), but here are the most common bugs I run into:
- Firefox randomly freezes up on Android (Google Pixel 6a), and then sometimes this crashes my phone and causes it to spontaneously restart. This usually happens at least once a day, often more, despite being very widely reported for a very long time.
- Assorted Adobe software develops strange behavior after it has been open for a while (selected items stop showing as selected, some tool or editing technique spontaneously stops working, exported images are borked, pressing ctrl+S reports that it has saved the file but it actually has not, etc). I have probably seen 50+ unique failure states over the last couple of years. I am affected at least a couple times a week, and I have learned to restart my software several times a day as a preventative measure.
- On desktop (Windows), some website will fail to load something or it may display bizarre behavior (erratic scrolling long after the page has loaded, back button stops working, links stop working, video playback stops working, etc.). Usually reloading the webpage fixes it, but sometimes the tab itself has broken or the browser has to be restarted. Other times, it's a consistent bug in the website and there is nothing to do but wait a couple days for them to fix it. I usually see website/browser issues like these about once a week or two.
It's better than the 90s, but it's still pretty bad and could be way better (as proven by all the software/systems/sites out there that don't have so many bugs).
