Nobody was "accidentally" clicking that Disable Javascript button, what the hell

Oh and did you notice how for several macOS versions the "Manage Website Data…" button in Safari Settings, for selectively removing cookies, magically fails to work?

Oh OH and how iCloud+'s paid Private Relay feature doesn't work in authoritarian countries like the UAE etc where it would actually be needed?

I didn't say they were, what the hell.

I did not notice. I don't use any Apple products.

You said that's not selling out users, because it was breaking websites if the users wanted to.

That is taking a feature [farther] away from [power] users,

in a move that favors other companies.

Fully disabling javascript has become very niche. It's okay to not have that button and wanting a simpler UI with fewer footguns is plenty of justification to remove it from the menu. Even if I would occasionally use it myself.

LMFAO
