Top Sites Missing - After iOS - Catalina 10.15.6 Update

Team

I know this has happened with a few users for other IOS updates on Mac and seems it happened with me today.

I have updated my MAC to 10.15.6 Catalina today and after installing and restarting my laptop, I can see Have lost Top Sites on Safari.

1). Top Sites used to appear on my new tabs and windows when I used to Open up.

Also, I can confirm that I can still add websites to Top Sites, it comes as a drop down under the Add this as Bookmark and I choose Top Sites. So this option is there but if I wish to see these Top Sites on new tab as default for every time I open a new tab/window, I am not getting it.

Please can someone advice.

Thank You in advance :)

this is just a suggestion. it may not work for everyone.

i just tried adding an empty folder to my Favorites list. i renamed it "Top Sites". i then added some websites to the folder. now my start page has this:

once i click the thumbnail, i get this:

i don't know if it will help everyone, but it's close enough for me.

finnaly, if you have a suggestion for apple on how to reintroduce top sites, let them know here:

After installing the update I was dismayed to discover that the Top Sites page was gone & replaced with the ugly Start Page, 90% of which I had no zero interest in. The Favorites section on the new page was of little value since it contained 100s of icons of every site I had ever bookmarked, arranged in no particular order that I could tell (ugh). The options for customizing the Start Page are very limited, but here's my solution: I deleted everything except the Favorites section, rearranged the icons in the Favorites section so my top sites are in the top 2 rows, and then clicked on Show Less so only the top 2 rows appear. It's not nearly as nice-looking as the Top Sites page but it's a reasonable facsimile & does the job.
