More space on the screen thanks to the hidden table bar
Using the "Show all tabs" icon (two overlapping pages) in the Safari menu bar, you can quickly view all open tabs in a preview view. If this view is sufficient for you to switch between different tabs, hide the table bar in Safari with the following steps.
- Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone or iPad and scroll down to "Safari" in the page navigation.
- In the configuration options for Safari you will find the entry "Show table bar" under "General". Disable this feature.
- To do this, slide the controller to the left. The controller background is then colorless. This permanently hides the table bar in Safari.
