Top tip: when you’re on a web page and want to quickly open a new tab/page, just click in the area to the right of the address bar (now at the bottom in iOS15), or swipe the address bar left to do the same thing.
I thought for sure the Safari address bar changes would be something I'd immediately hate and turn off. But I actually kind of dig it. And absolutely loving tab grouping. :)

I also thought I would hate it but decided to give it a chance and am actually finding it fine.
The tab/address bar on the bottom just makes sense. Pretty much from the beginning of app development, we realized putting the controls at the bottom was better. I don't know how it took this long to move the primary controls of a browser to the bottom also. This is especially better for larger devices.
Still, it's nice to have the option for those who can't handle change.
I like having all the controls at the bottom but they need to work on making this as smooth as the old version was, for example getting to your bookmarks off the new tab, and closing tabs. Very clunky as it is. Don't understand why moving everything to the bottom means they had to change and add steps in how you get rid of tabs, start tabs and get into your favorites.
