Safari finally gets vertical tabs — and a new way to make any site dark, all thanks to iOS 27.3
A platform update is bringing Vertical Tabs and an Adaptive Dark Mode to Safari (on all platforms).
Apple's Safari browser is getting several useful updates with the release of iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, and macOS 27.3 beta versions. One of the most notable additions is vertical tabs, which will initially be available in developer beta versions for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Vertical tabs will appear as icons on the left side of the browser window and can be hovered over to quickly preview hidden browser windows.
They can be pinned at the top of the tab list and support tab groups. Additionally, Safari will now offer Adaptive Dark Mode, which automatically darkens pages that do not support dark mode, while preserving the original design for dark backgrounds. Siri AI browser tools are also being introduced, allowing users to organize their tabs by activity or car price using custom actions.
These updates are currently only available in beta versions, but will eventually roll out to all platforms in a full release.
