Safari’s Compact Tab Bar Returns in macOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4

Safari’s compact tab bar returns in macOS 26.4 and iPadOS 26.4 after disappearing from the initial releases of macOS 26 Tahoe and iPadOS 26. This space-saving option, which puts the address bar in the current tab, vanished for unknown reasons, but it’s now back: on the Mac, select it in Safari > Settings > Tabs; on the iPad, look in Settings > Apps > Safari.
