Is there a way to use the legacy Save for Web interface?

I upgraded to Photoshop 27.7 yesterday afternoon and see that the Export>Save for Web interface has been changed. Is it possible to use the legacy interface?

In my previous workflow, exporting to a specific width went like this:
1. Export>Save for Web (Cmd-Shift-Opt-S)
2. Tab 3 times
3. Set width
4. Save file

In the new interface:
1. Export>Save for Web (Cmd-Shift-Opt-S)
2. Tab 16—SIXTEEN—times
3. Set width
4. Save file

Not a deal-breaker, but I do this hundreds of times a week and have for decades. It’s muscle memory, and whatever has been changed doesn’t matter to me in the slightest.

    M, I was able to reproduce your 16-tab issue. See below.

    I don’t see a setting for setting back to Legacy. It seems to be effected by another setting --

    Preferences>Technology Previews>Enable Modern User Interface. Is it checked? Uncheck it, export again.

    I was able to Tab three times to get to the Width field with the Interface box unchecked.

    Tab #1: Quality
    Tab #2: Blur

    Tab #3: Width

    That works for me as well—thank you!

    I looked through the Preferences before asking but completely missed that option.

    It’s arcane, esoteric knowledge. ;-)
