Can no longer keep favourites side bar expanded in Safari 15

Seriously??? A request to restore a very useful prior feature is "not constructive"??? I don't get that at all. Oh, and I, too, am experiencing this issue as I just replaced an older Mac Mini with a brand new one with Big Sur OS and I am very annoyed by this loss of functionality!

Good luck cause Apple current idea of innovation is doing everything customers dont want and if you dont like it your a dissident lol (just kidding of course, Apple would never ever become a horrible company like that).,

but seriously, did you think what your asking for was possible on portable m1 chip ipad pro running ios 15 in 2021?, really?

Well write a certified letter to Apple, keep calling them and check back here.

but i warn you that ppl i know who worked with Apple limit the number of features to their apps for simplicity, they even limited the spell checking so your device runs smoother so dont be alarmed, be Patient and hope they swap a feature by the next major upgrade just around election year.

That’s ridiculous that you would have to buy a feature that already existed in the old software or even the idea of it….cmon. It’s a basic feature, period. There is no excuse for Apple on this issue.

Cant do anything about it, i posted links to extensions if you want to buy the features but i got an email from Apple telling me they removed it because its a rant so your only solution is to send them an email aboit it and mention censorship while your st it cause this wont help

Hope Community post like this (Important Feature), is read by APPLE software Engineers and address this issues with a software upgrade/patch as soon as possible. At least acknowledge this issue. So that upgrade/patch is coming.

I have tried exactly this since 20 years and every time there is a issue no one can solve here the thread is buried and the issue is either ignored or solved via a debug update..regardless its still censorship to not tell anyone here anything at all.

We can talk, complain till the cows come home. looks like no-one from Apple Support Group or software engineer reading this post and give a Sh**t. My take on this is, live with it or go somewhere else.

This so very irritating, and I experienced the same type of issue with iOS 15 when it was released so I am worried that this is meant to be an "improvement". For what it's worth, I will tweet the link to this thread to Tim Cook to see if it irritates him as well!

Are we the only minority that seems to be bothered by this so much? It's been over 2 month now and there is still not a fix to this.

I did recognize after upgrading to Monterey, the search window within the sidebar is lining up correctly, not cut off. However, I still can't believe the latest layout would be acceptable under Apple's programming quality standards. Look at the title Tab Group crosses the section divider line, it makes no sense??!@#

I actually brought this up at the Apple Store and they acted like they had not heard of it- which I took as "I don't know how to fix it." They tried to side-step by saying the latest update would bring it back..... NOT. They were only interested in selling, not talking care of their customers needs. I am very, very disappointed in the reaction and the vague concern for customers needs.

Came here for answers. still no resolve as of Jan 2022. Nice work Apple. Keep changing things that were perfectly fine. Why would they think people PREFER NOT to see their most used bookmarks sidebar always?

I agree, I am very disappointed that they have not sent a fix out- or maybe they do not care about keeping a loyal customer base any longer? I fight to keep my Apple at work- my organization no longer wants to support a more expensive product and with the security offerings in todays tech world- Apple doesn't offer much more... they need to get on this and make their products work instead of making us click more to get where we need to go. Give us the advantage instead of egg on face.
