Struggling with Safari’s New Layout on iOS 26

Since updating to iOS 26, I’ve been having a hard time adjusting to Safari’s new layout and wanted to see if others are experiencing the same.

• The “All Tabs” button now seems hidden, and it takes multiple steps to access it compared to before.

• The back and forward buttons feel smaller and are placed on the left side, which makes them harder to use accurately.

• When I swipe on the glass button, instead of going back, it changes the entire tab, which is unexpected and disruptive.

• Tab Groups also feel harder to manage now since they take more steps to access.

• The glass layout overall seems to use more space, leaving the buttons smaller and less convenient.

Is there a quicker way to access the old functionality or settings I might be missing? I’d love to hear how others are adapting to these changes.
