Sequioa 15.7 Safari bookmark issues

Just downloaded Sequoia 15.7 on my MacBook Air. My bookmarks in Safari are now all messed up. I need to take 3 steps just to get to them while they used to be available on the left side of my screen. Secondly, they now have the full description and are not a concise list like they used to be. It is not user friendly and difficult to use. In talking to Apple support, there is no way to go back to the previous version. This is awful and needs to be fixed

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.7

I re-installed macOS Sequoia from the app store on top of the running macOS Sequoia 15.7, this process replaced Safari 26.0.1 with Safari 18.6 and keeps Sequoia 15.7. So far no issues.

when I saw your reply, I was sceptical. I thought for sure that a system wipe and reinstall would have been required to get backwards to safari 18.6. but I figured "what can it hurt to try?". so I laid sequoia over my sequoia with safari 26.0.1. and I do indeed have sequoia with safari 18.6 now, without a complete wipe and reinstall.

thank you for providing your solution. :)
