Ugh, I'm worried that this could get ugly on social media, and it's just shooting the messenger.

Apple is very controlling about what the employees are allowed to say, and this is a cross between comments on future products/features and ongoing legal issues — things Apple really doesn't like commenting on.

Sort of shooting the messenger, but then again she is paid what, $3 - $500,000 TC to take those bullets… or maybe more? So that should soften the blow. I do prefer people be respectful and calm in voicing their distaste though

They have release notes, but they hide their changes.

Just write some words to explain. It is not a rocket science.

That means it is intentional and not a "bug".

It is 6 days since first reports. PR team should already given some answers.

Nope, it could still be a bug - they typically remain silent even when major bugs are causing disruption. Just one of several ways Apple make developing for Safari a nightmare.

Apple never comments on beta versions. Whether it be a bug, a removed function or an introduced function.

As far as Apple is concerned a beta is a beta and all beta are off. Only once it gets a stable release will they start commenting.

They have release notes for beta versions. Where they comment known bugs & changes. But yeah it is Apple.

Fair, you got me there.

I meant more so regarding future plans and other than release notes.

But fair is fair, they make comments in their release notes.
