Safari iOS 15 gets a makeover
Safari is the default web browser included on every Apple mobile device (iPhone or iPad). In France, it represents 20% of the market share of web browsers in second position just behind the indebted Google Chrome (60%).
With the arrival of iOS 15, Safari is getting a makeover. Apple's web browser has a new interface, including a new tab bar that is easier to use and less visible. Visually, the whole looks more refined so that Internet users can concentrate on the content of the pages displayed..
Unlike old browsers from the 90s that were full of buttons, the latest Safari iOS 15 version goes for sobriety. As a result, a large number of actions that could be carried out directly from the address bar now require going through the option menus. For example, the reload page button no longer exists.
But the new, more compact URL bar doesn't just have its drawbacks. Due to its small size, it maximizes workspace and greatly improves web browsing. It also allows you to surf with one hand or close all tabs with a click..
Some users will need a little getting used to. Below is a method to change your phone's default web browser. However, the new address bar has been completely redesigned in order to make the web browser as user-friendly as possible.
