Liquid Glass is hot garbage. I updated and kept thinking it would grow on me, no I just hate it. UI is hidden behind extra taps (the stupid new tab bar) and for the first time in my memory I've clicked, seen the animation of my click, and nothing has happened. Not to be a jerk but that's Android-level-shit (and yes, I've personally experienced that countless times in Android or Android-based OSes, like in the Meta Quest).
No one wants to see their content behind controls, they want to see the controls. The stupid glassy circles over my video are just distracting and literally make it harder for me to see the controls.
Just today I was scrolling and getting increasingly frustrated with the glass header flip/flopping between white/black text to account for the content under. For what??? I can't actually _see_ the content, it's warped and half-hidden.
Honestly, whoever thought "Hey, let's make things like the Safari address bar not cover the bottom so you can 'see your content'" should be fired (and I try not to say that often). It was a stupid idea, oh look now I can see 10px more of "content" that is just distracting and stealing space from useful controls. All the padding/margins got bigger in Liquid Glass all while reducing visibility and removing functionality.
Liquid Glass will go down as "Look over there" (re: AI), it was a distraction at best (because if people actually thought it was an improvement they are blind). Hopefully we don't have to wait quite as long as we did after iOS 7 for them to reverse course.
