Update: As noted by Nick Heer on his Pixel Envy blog, analytics data is unreliable because Safari on iOS 26 is reporting a different operating system version in the user agent string that analytics services rely on for data. For example, devices on several versions of iOS 26 are reporting themselves as being on iOS 18.7 when using Safari. The relatively low number of mobile devices correctly reporting themselves as being on iOS 26 are largely from users on alternative browsers such as Chrome.
Normal people, particularly old ones don’t like visual overhauls.
There are several things since the update that I think are just objectively worst like how tabs work in safari that still bother me since the update.
Particularly when those overhauls are a huge step backward in usability and readability.
You can change the layout on safari
Surprised that Apple allows use of the old layout still be thankyou I had not noticed it buried in the settings
