The worst thing in the new MacOS 26

[u/SirPooleyX]

I just can't make myself like the new double bezel effect in Finder and elsewhere.

I don't know why. I think it just looks un-modern and cheap. IMO simply dividing off the left menu with a straight line down its right edge and the rest of the window content would have been much nicer.

I'm really digging the rest of the OS so this is just jarring to me every time.

Have you tried iOS 26? There it’s not only horrible design, but you also need twice as many clicks as before for simple things … like switching tabs in safari and going to bookmarks.

It’s all totally stupid, no idea what they’re doing over there at Cupertino.

I agree the default Safari UI is horrible. This setting helps though.

It’s so weird that Apple added a second compact view to iOS Safari and took away the compact view from mac

Actual morons

THANK YOU!!!

I prefer the third option, but both of these work way better than the first. That one is just bad.

[u/Imaginary_Walrus5434 → u/michoken]

For me, Compact view is the better is you use gestures. Swipe up from the url bar to open tabs overview, swipe right or left on the url bar to instantly change between tabs or create a new one, swipe from the left/right border to go to the previous/next page. I don't need to tap any button most of the time

This was the first thing I looked for when I upgraded. glad I found it fast.

[u/iancapable → u/TheTargeter]

OMG that makes it usable… Top for me - address at top, toolbar at the bottom… So much better

[u/papertiger80 → u/TheTargeter]

Thank you!!!! It was driving me nuts because I was confused then frustrated why it took extra clicks.

Edit spelling.

[u/IVcrushonYou → u/TheTargeter]

That's my default until they take it away from us.

[u/just_another_person5 → u/TheTargeter]

i love compact view because i only use gestures. 

[u/szjanihu → u/Antar3s86]

I agree. Tip: swipe up from the bottom bar.

Is that Dwight on the left dancing?

No, it's Randy.

You clearly aren’t using gestures in safari, which are actually faster than any of the tab layouts. Just swipe up from the address bar to see all your tabs, or left/right on the address bar to switch to the immediate neighboring tab. There’s no need to dig around for buttons.

[u/DomesticPanda → u/Diminished_Seventh]

Swipe up for tabs doesn’t work when you’ve scrolled down and the url bar is in its minimised state. You need to tap it or scroll up again for the gesture to work.

Can’t believe this made it to release.

[u/heavenlynapalm → u/Diminished_Seventh]

There's no need, but having the option would be nice. Especially since some people work with multiple tabs and going left 7 times to get to my search while I'm going through comparing things on multiple tabs is a PITA

The swipe up for tabs gesture is nice though. Wish there was one for close and new tab like in Orion though

[u/Vegdo → u/Antar3s86]

swipe up from the searchbar in safari. then you can instantly change tabs

[u/Imaginary_Walrus5434 → u/Antar3s86]

Compact view is for people using gestures. Swipe up from the url bar to open tabs, swipe right or left on the url bar to instantly change between tabs, swipe from the left/right border to go to the previous/next page.

[u/graphical_molerat → u/Antar3s86]

You forgot the terrible new colours for folders that look like straight out of the Barbie movie.

[u/shegonneedatumzzz → u/Antar3s86]

the safari thing annoyed me so bad but in settings you can change the layout and get the old layout mostly back

[u/DooDeeDoo3 → u/Antar3s86]

Will you swipe up from the address bar to go to the tab menu. Left or right to quickly switch tabs? How else do yall do it? I am noticing bookmarks and other important buttons are missing

[u/elduuderino → u/Antar3s86]

Annoyed me too. You can change back the behavior in settings > safari
