Safari tabs close too easily when I’m not even swiping

With the newest iPhone update, for some reason, my safari tabs are so much more sensitive to closing. Whenever I am just scrolling through my open tabs page, the slightest motion causes tabs to randomly close. It’s very frustrating because it’s never done this before. I know swiping is supposed to close the tabs, but it’s highly sensitive now unlike before and closes so easily when I’m not trying to close them. Any way to turn off the “swipe to close tabs” in safari, or suggestions to fix this? Thank you!



iPhone SE, iOS 17
