v26.0.1 brought back a functional "compact tab" layout. But it seems to have some bug still.

With a couple of tabs open and Safari running for some time, switching between tabs become sluggish. There is about 2-3 seconds delay.

If I switch to "separate tab" layout, the delay disappears. When switch back to "compact tab" layout, the delay comes back and persists until relaunch of Safari.

i'm getting the delay with compact tabs on macOS 15.7/safari 26.0.1 too. i might have to give up on it, especially since it's still missing in tahoe from what i understand :(
