Rant:

I really hate the new 15.1 Safari with tabs. I liked that I could easily open multiple sites in prior updates (was using 14.8) without having to have all of them like a grid or having to put them in tab groups.

I also hate that there is a row that Apple calls a “shelf” at the bottom that you can’t get rid of in settings.

I used to simply click on private browsing and I could easily toggle through private and regular pages/screens. Not now.

I thought I would check in with the Apple community and no advice there. They told everyone else that hates it: tough, too bad.

Safari used to be intuitive for me. I never had trouble figuring out new updates before.

I also had some kind of memory photo pop-up on my screen this morning that I never had before. Thanks iOS for the old girlfriend memory.🙄

Tech is when I really feel my brain age.

Am I missing something obvious?

UPDATE: I lost all my apps in the locations that they originally were- including all my Home Screen apps. They are now all in widgets. I hate this so much.

I tried moving settings out of the widget and all it did was duplicate it. On Apple community, they said too bad about this too, to the person that asked how to get rid of it.
