Is it just me, or is the "new tab" + missing in Safari?

In previous versions of Safari, there was always a little + on the far right of all tabs, if you wanted a new tab you clicked the plus sign. Now, that plus sign is gone and the only way to open a new default tab is to use the command T or the File > New Tab option. I miss the + button )-:


Side note: Does anyone else hate the clock being in the far right of the Menu Bar? For the past, oh I don't know maybe 20 years... my clock has been to the far left of the menu bar items. Now its "stuck" in the far right corner. Ugh.

if you want the add tab "+" sign in a different spot, you can go into Safari>View and choose Customize Toolbar


you will see the icons in the toolbar start to shake. then you can drag and drop the "+" sign to a new spot on the toolbar.

No, no one is going to pass this on. Unless, of course, it's a fellow user who posts feedback in the appropriate place. But, if the issue isn't important enough for you to let Apple know you care, then why bother posting about it at all?

I completely agree! I was using a MacBook Air for work that ran Mohave and now I've just purchased my first MacBook Pro M1 and this tab change is the only thing I truly hate about it! Why remove it from the Tab bar it doesn't make any sense. Additionally, when I was trying to customize the tool bar the Tab shortcut would disappear after hitting done, but I got it fixed so it's in the top right corner now, but I like it closer to the search bar. Oh well, gonna have to get used to it I guess. Also, downloaded Chrome because I'm so used to the new tab being there!
