How do you move a website in Safari to a different Profile Group? You used to be able to just right click on the address bar and move to a different Group. I've been clicking around now for a while and can't seem to find out how to do this now.

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).

Can anyone with an M1 iMac previously running Sequoia confirm if the performance/feel of the computer has:

A) Worsened after upgrading to Tahoe;

B) improved after upgrading to Tahoe;

Or

C) Has remained t same after upgrading to Tahoe.

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.

Thanks! Do you mind me asking about your the specs of your model?

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.

These little monsters in Tahoe interrupting the workflow:
1) When you point the cursor on a letter to mark a word, it sets the insertion (don't know how this insertion line is called) AFTER the letter, if the cursor is not in front of the centre of the letter. Consequently you cannot mark the entire word because the first letter will be missing. (you can check this in a new file using a large font, typing 'o' and trying to mark the letter)

Hi @hsze , I have the exact same problem, that I can't precisely click on letters in MS Word anymore.

It looks like Tahoe has shifted the hitbox for the cursor a few pixels to the right and MS didn't get along with this changed behaviour yet. As soon as I click about 10% in the first letter, my cursor is activated on the right side of the letter and not on the left side as I was used to in decades of writing.

Have you found a solution to this issue?
