Interesting to see the difference in how HN reacts to changes like this in Safari vs Chrome.

For whatever reason, HN is completely uncritical of anything Apple does. It has gotten to the point that _/r/apple_ tends to have a richer debate about the companies actions. It's a side effect of the lack of subreddit equivalents IMO.

This story is a perfect example btw, compare https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/d6v3mo/explanation_o... to the multiple defenses of Apple in these comments

I bet that somewhere in this ocean of apologetic comments I could find the classic one:

"You're not the target audience (if you disagree with anything that Apple does)"
