It actually does make a ton of sense, but clearly needs some significant adjustment during beta. As the iPhone and its screen have been getting wider and taller, one-hand usage that used to be almost inherent has turned into - at times - a sort balancing/hand-stretching procedure. Moving web navigation and control within easy thumb reach makes sense. However, there’s definitely some current issues. Since every website ever in history has been designed with a layout where the address bar is up top, this new feature interferes with some sites - likely more than I know. For me, I day-trade cryptocurrency options, and the platform I use has a gorgeously simple mobile interface when you go to the site. However. My “Buy” and “Sell” buttons are guess where? Bottom of the screen. If I want to get specific with my $ amount on a trade - say $103.55 - I can tap the digit field and a calculator-like keypad pops up…. At the BOTTOM. The new toolbar/address bar covers up all those functions. I can try to and get it minimizes, bud still, the second I touch the screen it pops right back up in my way. I can go to the settings (3 dots) feature and select “Hide Toolbar”, but same problem…. The minute I touch the screen, there it is. Right in my way again. I’ve used Safari 98% of the time on the internet for over a decade. Now to do my trading I’ve had to start using Opera. That’s unfortunate. I sincerely hope that by the time we’re through beta and ready for official release, this problem is addressed somehow. Even if there has to be a toggle in Safari settings where we can decline the new toolbar feature and keep controlling our web interaction like we’ve done ever since…. Well, always. Just ANY solution that can guarantee the toolbar does not pop up and get in my way when I’m placing trades with my money!!!
