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 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.
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.
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.
