whoever made opening a new tab in safari take three taps, the last of which is in the bottom left of the screen instead of the bottom right, has some explaining to do

In the default “compact” layout, I can open a new tab in two taps by tapping the 3 dots, tap “New tab” from the menu.

One tap by holding the 3 dots and dragging finger to the “new tab” item.

But I didn’t like “compact” so switched to “bottom” layout for Tabs from Settings > Apps > Safari.

For iOS, if you swipe up on the url bar, it shows all your tabs and then you hit the new tab (+) on the bottom left of the screen.

You do have to discover that faster way to do it, and the alternative is three taps.
