Running macOS Big Sur on my main computer...

I installed the upgrade on top of my Catalina OS and Parallels would not run. I was prompted to give it permission in System Preferences as it was a third party application but it still complained that it did not have the necessary permission even though I followed the request and restarted my Mac.
I eventually gave up and restored my CCC backup. Thank goodness I did a CCC clone beforehand.
Perhaps I should try again but as a clean install.
I have a question, in case you installed fresh, or maybe even otherwise. Did your Mac (and/ or) iPhone lose Safari iCloud Keychain data?
I installed fresh copies and think some keychain data didn’t come. Then, some restarts later, Safari iCloud keychain is empty.

Yes... but my computer had it before and I already enabled it on my 16” with terminal on Catalina.

I did an in place upgrade, not a clean install. I don’t use safari though so I’d have to check...
Can you please check and see whether tabs in safari could be hidden? This was added in ios/ipados 13 but not in catalina. It drove me nuts. I hate that extra horizontal bars taking up valuable real estate below the address bar. If they allow that, I might make safari my daily go-to except 4k youtube videos.

It seems to be a present option but it's grayed out... I don't use Safari so it might just be my settings. I had two tabs open.
Interesting that About This Mac shows 11.0 and Startup Disk shows 10.16.
Yep. Reminds me of the early days of iPadOS 13. They had inconsistencies like that.
I can’t speak for the other poster, but everything is much smoother. The UHD 630 was always a little underpowered on my ’18 when running the default scaled 1680x1050, but whatever they’ve done to the graphics subsystem has really paid off, to the point where I had to check to make sure I wasn’t on my Radeon 560X...
That is the best news I've heard. I have a Mac mini with UDH630 and it chuggs on Catalina scaled 3008x1692.
To the point that I bought a 2013 Mac pro from a buddy to hopefully smooth it out. I got it cheap so I will likely resell it. Espscally if my MM can run scaled smoothly with Big Sur now.
He had two tabs open. "Hide Tab bar" menu option is grayed out when you have tabs open. close tabs so that you only have one page loaded, and the option won't be grayed out anymore. Once the tab bar is hidden, if you open a tab, the tab bar will return, and the menu option will be grayed out again. Standard behavior.
Very smooth.

The updated iWork apps aren't available yet... probably around release time in the fall.
Is it smoother or performs better than Catalina?.. I have an MBP 16 and I feel Catalina lags some times
On both the 16" MacBook Pro and the Mac Pro, performance is equal or better in my opinion.
Nice to know thanks. I already have it download it but I'm a bit scare of installing it. If I do would be an upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur.
Do you see any difference in battery life on your MBP?
Did you have any issues installing it?
I had Parallels give me some requests for extension permissions, but I allowed them and all seems good so far. Remember this is developer beta 1 so there's still some bugs.
