In iPadOS 27, I have a number of tabs open in Safari. Using the iPad with the Magic Keyboard sometimes my mouse cursor strays near another tab while I’m scrolling, A preview of that tab will float appear over top of the page I’m trying to read, This drives me mad. Is there a way to disable this “feature”.
The screenshot illustrates my pain.
Unfortunately, no, there is not! This has been driving me crazy too, and I’ve even changed my default browser as a result. Related, if you haven’t tried it, I would suggest the Beam browser which is a $5 one time purchase and my new favorite browser on the iPad: vertical tabs!
Beam looks interesting. Strangely there are several Beam Browsers on the AppStore.
The thing I would miss is the ability on my Mac to see the tabs I have open elsewhere. I find many things on iPad/iPhone that I read/deal with on my Mac. I use a pull, not a push system.
The one I’m referring to is here.
He’s working on a Mac/iPhone version and mentions releasing in 2026 but I have no idea if he’s on schedule to get that done.
Yep and I’m trying it. The thing that will eventually kill me is that it isn’t part of my “iCloud Tab List”, I often find something on iPhone/iPad and then finish on another device.
