Thus, trying to use the new Safari 15 on Mac (and iPadOS 15, alas), I feel somewhat disoriented working within Safari. Buttons do not work as a metaphor for multiple documents within a single window. And my brain is very much comfortable with the particular visual metaphor of tabs in a web browser window. Tabs that look like real-world tabs arenвЂ™t just a decorative style. These new вЂњtabsвЂќ waste space because, like buttons, theyвЂ™re spaced apart. The вЂњSeparateвЂќ layout, with вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ off, is the closest you can get to SafariвЂ™s previous tab design. вЂњSeparateвЂќ layout / вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ turned off.вЂњSeparateвЂќ tab layout / вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ on.вЂњCompactвЂќ tab layout / вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ off.вЂњCompactвЂќ tab layout / вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ on.Here are four full-window screenshots, in order from worst to best to my liking: I despise the new tabs even when the вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ and вЂњCompactвЂќ layout settings are turned off. Click that thinking itвЂ™s a menu for Defector and youвЂ™ll be surprised to be dumped to your Safari Start Page. Is that DefectorвЂ™s button? Or is it SafariвЂ™s? It sure as shit looks like itвЂ™s DefectorвЂ™sвЂ‰-вЂ‰but itвЂ™s SafariвЂ™s. The color matching does not extend web pages at all. Match the colors of each site, extending your web page to the edge Tabs have a rounder and more defined appearance and adjust to (Note that IвЂ™ve done nothing, explicitly, to support this feature on Daring Fireball.)ДЄpple, in the вЂњWhatвЂ™s New in SafariвЂќ alert thatвЂ™s shown upon first run after upgrading to Safari 15, describes the new tabs thus: HereвЂ™s what it looks like as you switch back and forth between tabs with this option on. But the вЂњShow color in tab barвЂќ option is on by default: The вЂњCompactвЂќ layout that puts tabs and the location field in the same rowвЂ‰-вЂ‰by using the tabs themselves as the text editing fields for URLsвЂ‰-вЂ‰is, thankfully, off by default. The most controversial Mac Safari changes shown at WWDCвЂ‰-вЂ‰compressing tabs and the URL location field into a single row at the top of each window, and coloring the entire window with the accent color of the currently frontmost web pageвЂ‰-вЂ‰are settings that (thankfully) can be turned off in SafariвЂ™s Preferences window (under вЂњTabsвЂќ, natch). Safari 15 on iPad suffers similarly, but itвЂ™s the Mac version IвЂ™ll concentrate on here. Our long national iOS 15 Safari nightmare ended last month, praise be, but the lesser of the two bad Safari designs unveiled at WWDC persists and actually shipped: the new tabs in Safari 15 for Mac. It doesnвЂ™t offer HEIC compatibility by default, so youвЂ™ll have to select the app from a menu when you try to open your photo.The Tragedy of Safari 15 for MacвЂ™s вЂTabsвЂ™ Friday, 1 October 2021

Microsoft ships Windows 11 and Windows 10 with a built-in image viewer called Photos. Attempt to open an HEIC file with the Photos app. So for many people viewing HEIC files wonвЂ™t be mission critical, but if it is for you, be prepared to part with a dollar. Simply downloading the original HEIC file via is a bit of a hassle because Apple just assumes that Windows users want the JPEG version by default. Just know that adding the ability to open HEIC files to Windows 11 isnвЂ™t free, and Apple will automatically convert photos to JPEGs if theyвЂ™re shared with people outside its ecosystem. Fret not, however, because viewing HEIC files in Windows is fairly painless on Windows 11. IOS, iPadOS, and macOS all ship with the ability to use HEIC files, but Windows users arenвЂ™t so lucky Microsoft doesnвЂ™t offer a way to open those files by default.
