Imagine you had an application that could do cool stuff. But nobody knew what cool stuff it could do unless they digged up a webpage from 2006. That's the modern web browser. The lack of discoverability in modern UI design is reaching utterly ridiculous levels. And I firmly believe the lack of main menus and statusbars is to blame. Look at how ridiculous this is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative_style_sheets https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative... Firefox used to have this in its main menu. You could stumble across it. Now nobody knows it even exists and they think light/dark themes are a real alternative to the full spectrum of colors and designs we could have before (if only webmasters implemented it, which they never did (but anyways I blame browsers for this because very few people even knew they could add alternative stylesheets to their own websites and users had no notification that they could switch rendering the incredible feature pretty much useless all the time)). Then browsers look at their metrics and how nobody is using the feature they told nobody about and decide to stop supporting it because why would they support a feature nobody uses, right? Reddit had entire subdomains to do what Firefox could do with a single click in the main menu. There could be a key that if I press it Chrome sends me to the search box at the bottom of this page, and I will never know about it because when I click the search box there isn't a status bar unintrusively hinting to me "hey, heads up, you can press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to quickly go to this box ;)" and I don't think we'll ever get that back.
