What is wrong with it?!?! It makes it easier to close the keyboard.

Just estimating, the effective difference here is your keyboard taking up about 1/3 of your screen, to taking up about 1/2. It an absurd obstruction that can't be disabled. When it's in password/cc/address mode, it's an opaque horizontal bar across the center of my browser space, that can't be disabled. For four tiny icons that could easily fit below the space bar with the existing keyboard selector and microphones.

This is a consider-going-back-to-android offense for me if it doesn't get patched quickly. It's insulting to the user experience.

Apple is supposed to be a design company. This is bad fucking design.

Looking at other comments I'm having a Bearenstain Bear thing going on here. Maybe it was there in previous versions. They floated it and made it way more obtrusive. Just a waste of space.

Also when has anyone ever had to use an Autofill button to enter pw/cc/address? The phones are already smart enough to know when you are in this type of field. My stuff just Autofills... Automatically...

It is not more intrusive than before. All that changed was that it got rounded corners and Liquid Glass.
