"MacOS MONTEREY" Beta 3, "Safari" tab design change partially -CNET JAPAN

　Apple has withdrawn some of the changes that were added to the tab design in the "Safari" browser in the third edition of the "MacOS MONTEREY" released on July 14.In the third edition of Beta, the columns between the address box and the tab are separated by default, and returned to the same design as the existing "MacOS Big Sur" version.

　This change shows how difficult it is to renew the user interface.Some people find the renewed version is simple, while others feel that useful functions have been deleted.

　One of the purposes of beta tests is collecting feedback, and Apple hears a complaint in five weeks after announcing an approach to a completely different Safari tab at the Developer Conference WWDC in June.It seems to have leaned.The new approach was to include the address bar on the active website tab, navigation, website privacy information, and other buttons for extensions on the left.CRAIG FEDERIGHI, who supervises Apple's software, said it was a cleaner new approach.

　When Federighi announced a plan for this new design in a keynote speech in June, he said, "We thought we should use a browser in a natural and organized state, so we reconstructed the web experience.Was integrated into the toolbar. The tabs are more compact, modern and lightweight. "

　Apple has also withdrawn a menu that summarizes options such as sharing and reloading websites.

　Apple will provide this as an option for users who like the renewed Safari tabs.

　Tabs are essential elements in the browser, as most of the PC work runs on the browser.However, tabs that are usually displayed in one row on the browser window may be difficult to manage.

　For this reason, MacOS Monterey's Safari also has a function to group tabs.
