New garbage on Safari

[Andy002]

Just a few moments ago Safari changed and has some new security thing which I don't want. The address bar is now black. I went into "Settings/Safari" and unchecked "Also use in private browsing" but it didn't change anything. How do I get back to where it used to be?

 

[now i see it]

It’s in Private Mode.
You can flip it off. Check your Tabs.

"Check" my tabs . . . ? What do you mean?

Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone - Apple Support

With Private Browsing, Safari won't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information. Private Browsing also blocks known trackers, removes tracking used to identify individual users from URLs, and adds protections against advanced fingerprinting techniques.
