macOS needs its grid back | Hacker News

A Hacker News thread says macOS has become too cumbersome and hidden in key areas like permissions, browser defaults, and Mission Control.

Users criticized multi-step security exceptions, buried system settings, and repeated prompts for choosing a default browser.

The discussion highlighted frustration with full disk access, accessibility permissions, and other controls that are harder to find and manage.

Several commenters also lamented the loss of the older Mission Control grid view, saying recent UI changes reduced usability and control.
