You must have the Tab Bar visible, then right click the tab for Move to Tab Group.
This took me a moment to discover too. Maybe it worked in the toolbar in Sequoia because of the collapsed tab view (which I miss).
C: The same as far as I can tell on my green M1 iMac.
Some of the betas had rough spots for sure, but 26.0 and 26.1 have been normal for me. I'm now on the 26.2 RC.
For all the complaints about the user interface of Tahoe, there are some rather neat things it does now:
- I was able to start a phone call to a client in the Phone app on my Mac. I was also able to delete call entries, too, All but one disappeared off the iPhone call list as well.
- I can get verification text codes on Firefox as well as Safari.
- Menu Bar items can be managed (added, deleted) from System Settings.
16GB 512
I actually still have Sequoia on a partition because I haven’t transferred everything yet, but I’ve not perceived any performance difference when I have switched directly between the two OSes.
Honestly the real performance issue for me is the 16GB max RAM on the M1 model. I have a habit of opening tons of browser tabs across several Safari windows, while also running other things. At some point things start to stutter, until I open Activity Monitor and quit the most offensive tabs hogging the RAM. I’ve continued this habit on Tahoe as well and it’s the exact same experience as on Sequoia, no worse or better.
So for me, with plenty of RAM (like on my 24GB M3 MBA, or on 16GB without anything heavy open) it runs just fine, and with RAM constraints / my over-usage it runs just as bearable-not-great as on Sequoia. I figure this context is useful to your question as I’ve regularly pushed my M1 and am well-acquainted with its performance limits.

Thanks. Yeah my M1 system has the 16GB of RAM as well and know what you mean. Mostly not a showstopper for me. But I would like a way in macOS to free up the swapped memory that stays occupied even after closing the app and processes that required/triggered it. I mean.. there is a way: restarting the computer, but I would like to not have to do that in order to reclaim.
Yep, that is exactly what I wanted to investigate and figure out how to improve too.
Ages ago I discovered an app that addresses it: Memory Diag !
I actually had not reinstalled it in Tahoe since moving out of Sequoia (probably explains why my many Safari windows were getting a bit heavy and stuttery), but went ahead and did that now. It has a setting where it can automatically refresh the RAM. You can also just click the recycle button in the app's Menu Bar window and manually clear things up. I highly recommend trying it out.
Since I got to tahoe 26.2, I can no longer double click to columns in finder in order to full extend them.
A gray bar prevents me.

It is an option you can enable with free apps like Tinker Tool, or a Terminal command.
There is now a checkbox in View Options to enable this.
There is? You mean a native auto-resize columns option that automatically adjusts the column width dynamically as you are diving in and out of folders?
