macOS Big Sur: Safari and Design Changes

With macOS Big Sur, I've found myself spending more time with Safari than ever before. While some of our team's extensions are Chrome-only, it's nice to finally see Safari getting the features it's long needed.

One aspect of the new design that has caught my attention is the use of transparent and translucent layers throughout the operating system. This includes the Menu Bar at the top of the screen and every app's Toolbar, where all of its buttons are found. While it may take some getting used to, I think this change will ultimately improve the overall look and feel of macOS.

Another design-related change that has raised my eyebrows is how security alerts and notifications are handled. The request for notifications should have greater prominence, in my opinion. However, these are just minor gripes, and I'm excited to see what else Apple has in store for us with this update.

One feature that I do appreciate is the ability to switch your desktop background and choose from a variety of options. This can also change the color of the menu bar text for optimal legibility, which is a nice touch.

Overall, I think macOS Big Sur offers a lot to like, even if it does come with some changes that take getting used to. If you're planning on upgrading, I recommend taking the time to play around and find what works best for you.
