Safari 15 squeezes the chrome above the content into a single line with tabs and the address bar. The active tab and address bar share space - clicking on an inactive tab not only makes it active but exposes the address bar for entering a URL or search string - which may not be a worthwhile trade, depending on how many tabs a user likes to leave open. The fused tab/address bar means that page content has a bit more vertical room, offset by a reduction in horizontal capacity for one's tabs. (In Safari 14 it was difficult, sometimes impossible, to tell which tab represented the active page one was looking at.) The tabs themselves come with rounder corners and the active tab is much more visible because of its darker color.
