I don't like it. I also can't stand how when going to a bookmark and selecting a website, I have to then tap the bookmark icon for the left panel to disappear. Why the hell would they do this? If I'm navigating to a bookmark and clicking it, well close damn it. I can't be the only one?
i'm just not a fan of the movement and how it disappears, to jerky and makes me sea sick. i like having my toolbars visibale etc, bookmarks etc. its one click and done.
Hah, I thought something was different but for some reason couldn't tell what. I considered the auto-hiding toolbar but for some reason convinced myself it had been like that since iOS 7 like on the iPhone. Pretty weird! Agree there should be a setting for those who are bothered. Interesting that you can turn off the tab bar now. Makes it look like a giant iPhone, lol.
I like it on my Retina Mini. I can understand others prefer it the old way. Really Apple should offer simple preferences for things like this 'cause different people have different tastes.
Hate it too. Just the option to turn it off would be nice. It adds one additional operation (scroll back up or tap address bar once) to each and every page view.
Also when hitting the address bar, the favorites pop-up has gone from 6 icons wide to 5, plus Cancel button disappeared which makes life more difficult. Looks like I'll have to try Firefox/Chrome again.

It keeps pulling down my 'today' screen everytime I try to get the bar to appear. Not a good feature IMO.
It depends on your browsing style. I have several web sites that I check in on.
I used to click on the link from the favorites bar, read, click on the next, read, ....
Now, I need to tap on the top to unhide the bar for every site. Very annoying. Very.
Me too!
Yeah, right. Does Chrome sync my bookmarks and Reading List with Safari on my iMac?
I tend to use Safari to browse forums on the iPad, while using apps on the iPhone. It's now not as easy to bounce between 5-10 sites on the iPad, need to always now unhide the bar. The favorites bar is for favorites, shouldn't need to hit something to show it. That's what a favorites bar is for, quick access. They could hide everything else.

Hmmm. Just noticed that if you swipe downward quickly anywhere on a page, not slowly, just quick swipe, the bar reappears, without needing to move fingers and touch top. Makes it slightly better.
I personally love it. Gets the tabs and the URL bar out of the way of whatever I am doing. And yes swiping up the page expands it again.
They also moved the bookmark bar from right to left. What kind of idiot comes up with this sort of crap seriously if you have nothing useful to add just LEAVE IT AS IT IS. Idiots.

Thanks, didn't know there was a tab view. Still they should make auto-hide a feature and let the user chose.
