Safari's Compact Tab Bar Is Back on Mac and iPad
When macOS Tahoe and iPadOS 26 launched last September, Apple quietly removed Safari's Compact tab layout – the option that merged the address bar and the tab bar into a single, space-saving row. If you were a fan of it, you will have been out of luck for months. The good news is that Apple has brought it back.
