You can also swipe left and right to switch tabs, in any state.

But, as you suggest, you have to tap the url to "bring it up" so it can be safely dragged upward, which is annoying. If they polish this a bit, I think it will be very nice.

So many changes over the years and some of them might actually be decent but I wouldn’t have known about this had I not read this comment or accidentally triggered it in the future. Has Apple experimented with “micro” tutorials that can pop up if they detect the user is performing an action in an inefficient/deprecated pattern? I.e. if in Safari I navigate to all tabs by tapping at the bottom —> hamburger icon —> all tabs a one time modal pops up showing the ux pattern they recommend

I hate micro tutorials so much, I really don't like when things have an invisible language that you have to just know to be able to use them.

If you have to have an invisible language, put it in a man page somewhere or something. I really don't like having my train of thought interrupted by "HEY, learn something new RIGHT NOW"

There's a "Tips" app that comes with iOS that covers big changes, like home screen navigation, and some default app changes, like Photos app.

Safari isn't in there, but that would be the place to put it.

Just because it took me a second to figure out: swiping left or right works when done on the search bar, not anywhere on the screen

Swiping left or right on the screen is the special “please misinterpret my attempt to scroll as a ‘forward’ or ‘back’ command, eliciting a curse” gesture. I have searched for a way to disable this many times.
