I think these pale in comparison to the deliberate and brainless design regression that has unfortunately continued with this latest release.

"Liquid Glass" was unmitigated garbage from day one, but now look at the "tabs" in Safari. They're even worse; the selected tab is barely discernible. Why the mania for obscuring WTF you're looking at? It's never-ending.

There are anti-user degradations tucked away throughout the system. Another example, from the last OS: Mail now lacks a "get new mail" button. Apple DELETED that from the toolbar. WHY?

So now, when my mom is trying to log in somewhere and it says "check your E-mail for a confirmation code" or something, she can't just go to Mail and press the "get mail" button. It's just so gallingly stupid.

You can absolutely add it back using their toolbar customization tool. I added mine ages ago and it’s still present in macOS 27.
