I cant say I'm impressed either with the new look in some places. Stable enough though.

I get the felling it'll be tweaked over the next few point releases. At the moment this is just the first full public release so lots of time to improve things.

I hope so. It’s disappointing. Sometimes if it ain’t broke…

I haven’t found anything that’s actually an improvement or better way of doing things yet… isn’t that the point when pushing a redesign?

To me, it's the same, but a different look, and not much more. I feel like the rounded sections of the UI actually serve to reduce the usable space of sections displaying text compared to before. Things feel a little bit more cramped and closed in.

iPadOS 26 has ruined multi window for me, I used side by side full screen browsers/apps.

I can get over the extra steps to do it and the small gap it leaves between them but it then breaks the browser back page gesture it resizes the window instead. Can’t see a way to get it working

Ditto. I really don't like it.
