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 I think it looks worse with so few buttons now. It looks like a kids browser where most of the functionality is taken away, it looks immature. I don’t mind the design in a number of other place but Safari is just egregious.

@marcoarment also why have they decided to blur the TOP of the Safari window when you scroll down now. Completely baffling decision.
