If you scroll up far enough on the Safari start page you will see ”Edit” at the bottom. Click that and you can turn off a bunch of stuff.

The IPSW file for ios14 is still available (signed). Don't wait too long though...
I downloaded it, but I’m hesitant as I’m afraid of blowing away the entire contents of my iPad and having to start over.
Thanks but none of those options remove the 4 thumbnails that pop up every time safari launches. grrrr.
I am trying to like but it keeps making me mistype as I get distracted by Google search suggestions! This poll really needs a unsure option.
I am not a fan for the following reasons: I hold my iPhone in my left hand. I am used to being able to close browser tabs by clicking the X in the upper left hand corner, which could be done with one hand. Now for no reason at all the X has been moved to the right, making it a two hand operation. Why? Secondly, I used to click in the address bar to bring up favorites, and they were right there. Now I click in the address bar at the bottom of the screen and have to then go all the way to the top of the screen to access the favorites. Why? Why not just have favorites pop out from the bottom?
Oh ok…I think I‘ve seen that happen on Numbers. I think you have multiple instances of Safari open. Do the 3 finger swipe up if you have a Magic Keyboard, or if not, one finger drag from the lower left corner until you see all running apps. Then just flick up on the extra Safari ones that you see to get rid of them.
To see all your open apps, Split View workspaces, and Slide Over windows in the App Switcher, do one of the following:
- On all iPad models: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then pause in the center of the screen.
- On an iPad with a Home button: Double-click the Home button.

Anyone else’s Safari slowed down to a crawl after the update? As I mentioned elsewhere, let’s say I try to close a “Tab”, it now takes Safari upwards of 10 seconds to complete the task during which the app is unresponsive. This is on an iPhone 11 Pro.
I rolled my iPad back to 14.8. 15 was just too hideous to deal look at. I‘ll just stay with this for a while.
Yeah, if only…. But no, there’s tabs that I had open about a year ago, and no matter what I do (turn off safari sync, and so on), they just come back when I turn sync on again and open Safari on the other device.
the other thing that is weird is closing a tab that you are currently viewing. I think the clicks to do so are the same but it feels like it's slower. the second thing that is strange is when you get to your grid of tabs. when you had them all in a stack you would just swipe them off. now they are in a two column layout. swiping them off is not intuitive, because you swipe both columns to the left. I find myself wanting to swipe the right column to the right to close a tab.
I like the new bottom address bar but is there a way to stop it popping up and down as I keep catching it and staging the whole tab to tabs view and it’s frustrating the hell out of me. I thought this is why u tap the bottom right hand corner to activate the address bar and then tap the two squares to activate the open tabs. It just want to be able to access it myself without it piping up and me staging the windows every single time. Thanks
New Safari on iPad is great. Especially tabs, makes it very easy to navigate and close. iOS 15 on iPad is a big win thus far.
I was hovering between Edge and Safari but the new Safari has tipped me over the Edge.
I'm now fully Edge on MacOS, iOS, and Windows.

Finally got myself a 12 mini after using an 11 that was to big for me.
always used reachability to type the url.
received the mini last Saturday, and I could reach the address bar with ease, 2 days later iOS 15 came out 🙄🙄
Happy with my 12 mini and iOS 15 and safari 😊

What is the problem with Safari 15 on iPad ? Seriously it feel just like 14 with new features. I can understand someone don't necessarily like the new design layout on both devices, but in both of them there's an option to revert it almost like before.
Personally just for extensions alone makes third party browsers almost useless on iOS now + the new group tabs feature is way more useful than I first thought.
