Seriously, what's wrong with the word "Menu"? It barely takes up any space.
Just put 菜单 and be done with it, right? I think a large part of the push for icons is awareness that not everybody reads English.
Maybe it was covered in this article and I just don't know the technical term for it, but my biggest pet peeve is when a page is taking forever to finalize the load, but the text is all there so I scroll down and start reading. The page then pops me back to the top of the page and I think it's finished so I scroll back down to where I was and continue reading, only to have it pop me back up to the top AGAIN because i…
My favorite related issue is when, during the 800 milliseconds it took my brain to activate the muscles required to precisely tap on a 12-pixel-high link, the position of the screen has shifted and I end up tapping something entirely else.
I’ll add this too, using uBlock, within seconds of loading the page, it’s already blocked some 500 requests.
I'm surprised he didn't mention sticky headers/footers. Those can be a huge waste of space, especially if you're browsing in landscape.
#1 complaint on every platform, for me. Sticky is very bad. Disappearing on scroll down but reappearing on scroll up is even worse. Just let the things scroll off screen, I can scroll to the top if I want to see anything on the header (spoiler alert: I won't). Old-school sticky sidebars (as in old frame layouts, for example) were totally fine on desktop, but are out of fashion now because they don't translate well to…

> Why having webfonts at all? Every computer and mobile phone has tons of fonts already installed. Your fonts definitely doesn't look better. Please don't waste my bandwith with it. Designers are really in love with using literally any font that's not a system font and will throw a fit if they can't do that. It's all because branding , or something. As a user I hate that crap. Quit wasting my disk and bandwidth with…
The reason designers use them is because 95% of their userbase values form over function. You're obviously in the 5% which values function over form, but surely you can understand most people want things to look pretty, plus the company wants to have a cohesive brand. I used to be a function-over-form advocate but was converted somewhere along the line after working with some awesome designers, doing lots of a/b test…
any stats? I'd say it's the opposite. It would seem to me people want things to work, first and foremost.
Both form and function are equally as important
This contradicts the previous statement, if your userbase is your first priority.

It is important to test these kind of assumptions. That's the reason why A/B testing and other analytics tools are used(not to mention communicating with the end user).
