Apple has unpredictably revamped Safari’s UI for a few years. From tones of customizable options to the lightning speed of Safari, many Apple users are adopting Safari, leaving Google Chrome, Firefox, etc. In this article, we’ll be discussing the Safari Tabs and how you can change Safari Tab Layout in MacOS Mac, and MacBook. Tabs are a crucial part of any browser; if you continuously spend time on Safari for research, projects, surfing, streaming, and other activities, the Tabs Layout must be striking in your eyes.
The newer macOS Update allows us to choose the Separate Safari Tab layout on Mac and Compact Safari Layout on Mac. To be precise, the Compact Layout only shows the number of tabs in a row; moreover, the Separate Layout displays the Tabs along with the URL on the top side.
