Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

    What is it with Android users’ obsession with the back button? Who actually cares? Why would I want some button that goes back to the wrong app for some reason?

      Who actually cares?

      Every people that complains, for one. And the “back” feature, with apps that follows the guidelines, is quite useful and consistent.

        Apple has a universal app switcher gesture that is harder to accidentally invoke. It used to use the home button before for that when it was on the front of the device.

        The back button on Android just feels like Chromebook bullshit to me.

          Try teaching your 90-year-old mother to use that fucking gesture. Lol “Apple is so intuitive”.

            I have a literal 85 year old father in law with mild dementia who uses his iPhone and iPad just fine. It literally is intuitive.

          The back button is just completely unnecessary. Imagine not knowing how to get back to something because the UI is atrocious so you revert to relying on a hardware key. 😷

            Android - provides a back button that has the same look, location and functionality system wide so that users don’t how to figure out how each individual application decide to implement (or not) go back functionality

            Cousin Mose - the UI is attrocious.

            Thanks for letting us know that no one should listen to your opinions on UI / UX ever lol

      Tell me you haven’t used a back button without telling me.

      To TLDR you pretend the back button on android is the back button on your mouse, because it is. Does it seem useful yet?

        Back button on a mouse? I use a Trackpad. If I wanted to spend all day slowly navigating the UI click by click I might go back to a mouse.

        And by the way, the reason I know it takes you back to an entirely different app than the one you’re using is because I’ve used it before. 😒

          It takes you back to the previous view in the stack. If that is a different app, then yes, it will do that, and that is the correct behaviour, same as when web browsing.

            Right, why would you need a physical hardware button to go back to the last app? It’s treating the entire OS like a single tab in a web browser.

            TL;DR: You have no reading comprehension. Also, why do you need to summarize your comments? It wasn’t even long.
