Discover what’s new in Monterey Safari
The new tab system in Monterey was changed back to familiar territory just before the official release
If you had experienced the various beta releases of macOS Monterey you would be aware that the tab design in Safari had dramatically changed. It was a contentious design update and one that is still available in the browser settings, but at the last minute the old style was also offered for those who prefer the original tab system. This approach makes a lot of sense because it will suit all users and you can decide if you want to take the time to get used to a completely new way of organising your tabs. The new design option is more colourful, but it does go slightly against Apple’s normally more reserved interfaces.
