Got this UX Myths from my colleague. Since some myths are offended my believes, I would love to see other people’s opinion on those myths, too.

Take a simple survey, all questions are from UX Myths site.

I’m not going to dictate a survey result, but, to me, flash is evil :-P

Finger Tip Evolution

เป็นข้อสังเกตคร่าวๆ นึกได้ก็เลยวาดไว้ โดยแบ่งการใช้นิ้วกับโทรศัพท์มือถือเป็น 3 ยุค

  1. ยุคปุ่มกด – ตั้งนิ้วสัก 60 องศา เพื่อกดปุ่ม
  2. ยุคหน้าจอสัมผัส resistive – ใช้หัวนิ้วหรือเล็บ ตั้งนิ้วเกือบ 90 องศา เพื่อจิ้มหน้าจอ
  3. ยุคหน้าจอสัมผัส capacitive – ตั้งนิ้วสัก 30 – 45 องศา

Firefox UX proposal : Open link in new tab context menu

blog 8 December 2009 | 2 Comments

This is my humble proposal for improving “Open Link in New Tab” context menu user experience.

Since tabbed browsing becomes the main feature in popular web browsers nowadays; Usability for tabbed browsing should be well designed, which mozilla firefox, IMO, has done really good so far.

One missing point on tabbed browsing UX is an “Open Link in New Tab” context menu which is, some how, misplaced, a bit.

Firefox Open Link in New Tab UX proposal

From user’s point of view and expectation, in this tabbed browsing era, all links should be opened in a new tab, and “New Window” should be lower prioritised than “New Tab”, therefore “Open Link in New Tab” should be put above “Open Link in New Window” as shown.

Google Chrome is using this approach, too.

I’ve filed bug to Mozilla’s Bugzilla.
