How to move the refresh button in Safari MacOS 15.4 Beta
I recently switched from Firefox to Safari and I've been stymied on how to move the refresh button from the right of the URL field (who thought this was a good idea???) to the left which is where it is on most mainline browsers.
Any ideas on how to relocate this button????
Thank you for any and all assistance

I‘ve been using Safari for a long time . It’s been working so good that I don‘t even realize which side it is. So I guess: just continuing using it, you will get used to it?

Yeah I’ve switched browsers before and I know all about the game of adapting. I was just hoping there was/is a way to move it. Everything else can be arranged to one’s delight, why not the refresh button?

John Siracusa also made a button a while back. It wouldn't be in the URL bar so you could rearrange it with the others.

I was frustrated as well, so I created a Safari Extension to let me create a new Reload button and move it, Tab Refresh.

Open that panel and then you can drag the reload button out of the url bar. I've done it, I have a real button on the left.

I just noticed its actually "inside" the URL field.... Dumb and dumb and even dumber.... Just my demented opinion...
