Here's a take:
The "new" compact tab bar in iPadOS 26.4 is good and I like using it with vertical tabs in Safari (which, yes, you can enable).
Jeff Johnson@viticci Can you reproduce the issue where extension popup windows crash Safari with the compact tab bar in iPadOS 26.4?
Opiniated Charles@lapcatsoftware @viticci very very crashable on my side (and thanks to @lapcatsoftware who reported this: I disabled the compact option and my extensionS are working again)
@lapcatsoftware
@lapcatsoftware took me a few back and forth in a anotherwise busy week at work to link all the pieces and attribute the thanks to you (StopTheMadnessPro release notes to your site to your name to this thread).
Since I was at it I also got Homecoming, so it was not all for nothing.
Thanks again!

Rich Aesthetic@viticci Yes! This is my workflow too 👏🏼

@kaarteeek missed a number, thanks 😜
Max Mellman@viticci the more I see people using this, the more it starts to make sense. It’s good web design to not go full-width. Fitting tabs at the top is crammed. Putting them on the side makes sense, and is consistent with other contemporary UI norms.
