They changed Safari! They now have an option to "Show Separate Tab Bar" which restores the interface to be similar to the version on Big Sur, except it still has Tab Groups and the interface changes color depending on the website. This option can be turned off. They also brought back the refresh button as well. Thank God! Good change!

I thought I noticed that too. Not really sure what my pref is. Apple did same with Safari in iOS 15 beta 3.
It's not working for me. There are new settings that seem like the feature is already implemented but it doesn't work for now.
You can get the setting back by disabling by View -> Show Separate Tab Bar
Weather is working again in Notification Centre.
In Safari, under View menu, check/ uncheck Show Separate Tab Bar. Genius move from Apple. I like the design from beta 1 and 2, and I am happy I could revert to it.
is in your mac, not iPad, and it's not working, I thing must be an Apple side related switch they have to turn on...

Endpoint Security
Resolved in macOS Monterey 12 beta 3

The set of muted paths and associated event types are inspectable using es_muted_paths_events. Although unmuting the AUTH events associated with these paths isn’t recommended, it’s possible to do so using es_unmute_path_events. (78405437)

Oh, no, old bug seems to be back: Turning on my Airplay network (via Airport Express) for Music playback seems to kill all sound. Had this issue a couple of versions ago and it got fixed, now unfixed.
EDIT: Quitting and restarting Music seems to fix. Fingers crossed.

Look what I found on my iPad M1, when disabling "Handoff" and enabling it again... but still not working, so its something from Apple's side. By the way the MacBook detects that my iPad is around changing the drop menu to advanced button when on and going back to drop menu when the iPad is sleeping.
I prefer the change, but I wish it was thinner. (It looks the same height in the photo, but ignore the bookmarks bar)
My AirPods Max are handing off automatically nicely now with this build on my iMac. Didn't play nicely with b2 for me. AirPods Pro had no problem and everything was happy as far as my iPhone was concerned with auto connects and playing. 🙃
I have faced similar bugs. Reported. Please mention feedback number FB9329099 if you feel like. I think people will report this en masse in coming days. This is not a rare occurrence, it is happening frequently.
I find it quite amusing that Apple releases a new OS version, and everybody talks about the web browser. It is showing what most people use their computers for. I think Google has a point with the Chromebook line, but they are executing it poorly to this day.
You can change it to macOS 12 default style by Go to View -> Hide separate tab bar
Anyone having issues with adobe not responding and crashing on intel 16in
Apple today seeded the third developer beta of macOS Monterey, the newest version of the macOS operating system. The third beta comes nearly three weeks after Apple released the second macOS Monterey beta.
Registered developers can download the beta through the Apple Developer Center and once the appropriate profile is installed, betas will be available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences.
As with all new betas, Apple recommends not installing the new macOS update on a primary machine because it is early release software and could have bugs.
macOS Monterey introduces Universal Control, a feature that lets a single mouse, trackpad, and keyboard be used across multiple Mac or iPad devices, plus there's a new AirPlay to Mac feature.
Safari has been redesigned with a new tab bar and support for Tab Groups, and FaceTime has gained spatial audio, a Portrait Mode on M1 Macs, and Voice Isolation for cutting out background noise. There's also a new SharePlay FaceTime feature that lets Apple users watch TV, listen to music, and share their screens with one another.
Shared With You, a separate feature, keeps track of the music, links, podcasts, news, and photos that people are sent in Messages, highlighting it in the relevant apps. Notes has a new Quick Note feature for jotting down thoughts, and collaboration is easier with mentions and an Activity View.
The Shortcuts app from iOS is now available on the Mac, and Focus helps people stay on task by cutting out background distractions. There's an updated Maps app with a whole slew of new features, and with Live Text, Macs can now detect text in photos or provide details on animals, art, landmarks, plants, and more in images.
Mail Privacy Protection hides IP and prevents tracking through invisible pixels, and iCloud Private Relay keeps Safari browsing protected. There are many other new features in macOS Monterey, with a full rundown available in our macOS Monterey roundup.
