Apple is also refusing comments. Jen Simmons - Safaris "open web advocate" is also silent. Her social media is spammed with this issue.

  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.

    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.

    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.
