A hallmark of iOS 26 design seems to be the consolidation of what was previously multiple toolbar buttons into a "…" button that shows a menu.

Which looks fine, I guess, but some VERY common actions are now an additional tap away!

Safari is the worst offender. Want to switch tabs or close the current tab? The all-tabs view, previously the two-squares toolbar icon, is now buried in a menu, adding an extra tap and significant finger movement to possibly the most common action in Safari:

@marcoarment Annoying, yes, however, Safari has supported a swipe up on the tab bar to see all tabs since the bottom-oriented redesign.

@marcoarment Overall though I agree, it's bad. Just like the first time they attempted to minimize Safari

@bonney @marcoarment I always swipe up, left and right on the address box which I think works very well. But the discoverability is not great I guess.

Also horizontal swipes to switch between tabs.

You can also use the pinch gesture on a webpage to show all tabs.

@bonney @marcoarment you can also long-press on the address bar to get a menu with an option to ‘close this tab’ or ‘close othe tabs’. I haven’t yet found an easy ‘close all tabs’ option, though. Which I am used to using frequently.

@bonney @marcoarment found it! When you get to the view of all tabs, if you long-press on the blue check mark in the top right, there it is!
