macOS 11.7.3 Breaks Safari Favorite Icons

ANYONE using this version of Safari will notice this glaring issue - its such an obvious screw up, yet it was released anyway. There’s no way that  didn’t know about this prior to release- yet they released it anyway.
 
don't they just reload? My safari clears tabs, particularly when I clear history, but the reload automatically

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!​

I didn't ask anything from you.


My reply was for WilliApple. I was expecting a simple fix as WilliApple said.

Except you left out the part where Apple employees have been forced back into the office for like… Almost 7 months now.
And the restrictions on remote working are becoming tighter and tighter by the day.
Oh… and this bug is from… two weeks ago, again, six months after employees were forced to return to the office

To be clear you're making major assumptions about pipeline times.

I hate to say, but Apple’s software side has been growling more and more unreliable. I bought a new Mac Studio that came with Ventura, but SMB file serving was completely broken in Ventura, and none of the fixes online worked for me, so I had to downgrade to Monterey. Monterey has been buggy at best. The main reason I bought this computer was that I needed something more reliable than my 2010 Mac Pro.

I’ve really lost all trust in Apple’s reliability on the software side of things. They’re now making great hardware, but subpar software. Maybe if they can stop rushing out major OSes every year, they may have a chance. I think macOS would do well on a two-year cycle. iOS would do well on a two year cycle too, but I don’t think that’ll ever happen in the foreseeable future. Apple is being driven by marketing hype above all else, and no longer by what’s best for end-users.

Apple's software has been a mess for years, it's not a recent thing.

I absolutely agree that pumping out a new major OS update every year must stop. It's completely unnecessary. A two year cycle is more than ok.

I just wonder if they are doing this to help make older Intel Macs obsolete in stages and force people to buy new hardware to get the latest & greatest. Perhaps annual major updates won't be a thing when macOS runs on Apple Silicon hardware only? Or is that just wishful thinking?

This tells me that the developer(s) responsible for the 11.7.3 release don't "eat their own dog food" - if they actually had a decent test machine, with Safari - and some Favorites on it, they would have seen this right away - assuming they do any testing.

or they're not on a version of Mac OS that's two years behind.

Seems to be Apple’s tradition to break Safari in a soon-to-be-dropped OS.
 
this happens with safari 15.6.1 too on 11.7.3. So not limited to 16.3.
Safari on my montelame partition is fine though

There are ALWAYS bugs, in every major operating system in existence.

What's changed is that the rumor landscape has become so congested that now even tiny and insignificant bugs like this one are suddenly considered "news".
 
BIG SUR also broke the ability to add flexible spaces to a finder window toolbar and it is still broken in every MacOs version since, ( yes I have tried Ventura) it has been a feature of the Mac since the dawn of time ( Mac time that is ! ) Have emailed Craig Federighi multiple times with no reply, moaned very loudly to the "geniuses" at my nearest apple store ( some who had no idea what a finder toolbar is ! ) and no fixes, pathetic apple .... will keep writing to you CF.

That right there is excactly what escapes me...

Malware vulnerability? No.
Crashes on start-up? No.
Bypass errors? Nope.
Memory leak? Nah.
Leaking data to the Gov'ment? Not yet.

Those itty bitty teeny weeny little bright colored logos stopped showing up in my browser? Release dump truck full of acrimony, FUD, and typos into the comments section because that will make  fix it now.

Honestly, I have to wonder if simply clearing history and deleting all temp internet files wouldn't resolve this as it did in a Safari beta I ran some years back.

Unfortunately favorite icons have been a security issue for a long time, enhancing security elsewhere probably broke them and they won’t be back unless Safari includes a cache of ‘clean icons’ in the build for known websites and uses them to display favorites without the code connection to the website which is a known risk….
