- mark_l_watson 5y agoThey are. They are optimizing for end users not developers. This UI change must be driving people who keep many tabs open nuts (I am not one of these people, I like a tidy environment with only a few tabs open that support my current activity). Maybe Apple has decided to nudge users in the direction of Marie Kondo; if a tab does not spark joy get rid of it. For me, whenever I switch tasks or activities, I usually quit out of safari and restart it. I like to concentrate on a single activity and not flit around trying to do many things at once. Maybe Apple is trying to healthier use of devices, as in providing Screen Time usage reports.
- Tempest1981 5y agoI'm envious that you can prevent interruptions to such an extreme. For the highly-organized, I hear there is a "tab group" concept, for additional joy. Not sure how that "plays" with multiple windows.
