How does one get rid of those ENORMOUS squares of Recently Saved at the top Bookmarks menu? Do we have to live with that now? This whole new MacOS 26 Tahoe feels like a triumph of form over function. What's with the rounded edges on everything?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0
It appears to me there are only tiles for things that are saved to my Reading List. I deleted them by clicking the left arrow that is to the left of the Bookmarks heading, went to my Reading List, and deleted everything. No more tiles show. When I add a bookmark no new tiles appear, at least if I file it away in a folder.
My guess is Apple doesn't think it's something that needs "fixed".
I don't even think Apple Staff or Software developers looks at this site?

Correct. That's what the feedback pages are for.
I have decided not to post, looks like posting makes NO difference to Apple. Like someone recommended in this tread to use different Browser. This may the choice.
Every time I add a bookmark it appears as a large square independent of any reading list although it is not in any folder but a standalone bookmark.

The issue is when you close out Safari the list of favorites is collapsed so the next time you open Safari you need to click on the favorites to expand and show the bookmarks again. Not a real big deal but annoying non the less.
That is different for me. When I open Safari again, it is coming up with the Favorites already open. I have not seen the annoying squares for a long time. I suspect the sort order "Folder on Top" is making a difference.

Well I guess I Am not seeing the issue— with no more added information or screenshots to help clarify the issue.
If this is Safari as others have eluded to, I would simply make changes to your Settings and make it different to suit your desires...
