Top screenshot is from a regular instance of Firefox where I’m returning to LinkedIn after having signed out before. Bottom screenshot is from a private browsing session -- no cookies saved, so I guess I look like a new user to them.
The frustration emerged when I didn’t realize I was in a private browsing session and clicked the big blue button to sign in.
The big blue button on the right is apparently not always the “sign in” button. It is the “this is the button we want you to click” button.
Ugh, my bank does this. But they fucked up so bad, it’s on the client side and so slow that the page loads, and I go to click the login button, and then it moves out from under my cursor and I click the register button.
I don’t know who decided this was a thing people wanted, but they should have their UX license taken away…
Microslop LinkedIn
But why? I honestly can’t think of a reason to do this deliberately? Must be some fuck up somewhere?
Colored button stands out more than white.
Yes, I know that. How does that explain this?

Related to that, what’s up with labeling the buttons “Sign in”/“Sign up” instead of a less ambiguous “Login”/“Register”? (Looking at you, Github)
(My native language is not English, and I always confuse the two 🤷)

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind.
