Apple release cool new Safari Tab change on MacOS Monterey

Apple on Wednesday stepped back from overhauling how its Safari web browser handles tabs on MacOS. The company released a third beta of its new MacOS Monterey software that separates the address box and the tab strip by default, moving back to same design that’s in the existing MacOS Big Sur version.

The change shows how difficult it can be to modernize user interfaces. One person can see a redesign as simpler, while another sees it as stripped of utility.
