I hate how a lot of settings pages have stopped adding save/apply buttons, especially when they don’t provide any indication that your changes are being saved after each modification. Like do I just close this window? What if I want to cancel the changes?
Also more sites seem to be adding these reactive-only search bars that dynamically fetch results as you type. Looks cool I suppose, but it’s a huge pain in the ass when I want to add a search shortcut in Firefox and can’t because they don’t actually have a search URL.
I like when the settings apply when you select them but don’t save unless you apply them. That way you can test them out without completely ass fucking your settings.
I used to feel the same about settings pages but I’ve noticed I’m so used to the auto save settings way I now get annoyed at the opposite - when I change some settings, exit the page and then discover I’ve lost the changes because I was meant to click save.
I guess either way can work fine it just needs to be properly designed.
Then the damn search bugs out and doesn’t search when I finish typing and either displays searches only on the first letter or I have to wait, delete a letter and then retype it.

Uggh, yes, that.
Nowadays it’s change settings, refresh page, navigate 10 intermediate pages because SPA, confirm that your settings stuck.
