Safari tab layout

What's wrong for you might be right for another, and vice versa. No UI is completely intuitive, although even though I'm not young, the new Safari tab structure took me very little time to get totally used to. Of course, I only started about 5 weeks ago with Safari Technology Preview, so I probably didn't suffer through many buggy early iterations.

AppKit tabs would work with the new way he's found with tab groups, but also with tab hoarding. Separate tabs option could just give us AppKit tabs, iOS users got their old UI option it's sad that mac users have to suffer two new UIs.

On the new MacBook pros the tab view is default to separate which is the second option in settings. Is compact the main view that Apple is suggesting that people use in safari now - with the option of going back to separate? If so, which is compact which appears first the default? That's weird.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but there was an infuriating bug in Safari where it would often jump to another open tab for no apparent reason. I especially found this troubling when ESPN was open, but not the tab I was viewing. I think it happened when ESPN refreshed, but I'm not sure. I found a workaround by using Little Snitch to prevent ESPN.com from communicating with GO.com, but this really greatly reduce the functionality of ESPN.

The new release version of MacOS 15.3 has fixed this problem. For a few days, I've unblocked Go.com in Little Snitch and there has been no jumping to the ESPN tab. Not even once. Finally, a bug got fixed. A bug. Just one, but one I really hated.
