They've removed `www.` from website url's in the address bar. Actually knowing if I'm on the www subdomain can be very useful, especially as a web developer checking if domains have been setup correctly. Reminds me of when windows started to hide file extensions by default.

This design decision can in practice create trouble with "mis"configured domains where www.example.com is in fact not the same as example.com. This is especially popular in traditional university domains where "university.xyz" does not resolve to a host but only "{www,mail,ftp,...}.university.xyz" does.

> JavaScript arrays are getting two new methods: flat() and flatMap(). They return a new array with all sub-array elements smooshed into it.

I appreciate the nod to smooshgate.

And still no way to horizontally scroll the tab bar. There are still some of us who end up with more than a screen's width of tabs, at times, especially on laptops. So, the rounded rectangles maybe nice, for some, and all that. But, how about some actually useful functionality, there? "Design" -- meh.

This is so frustrating. I keep trying to use Safari just for this alone.
