Photo EXIF and IPTC data
I doubt this will bother most people, but starting from this beta the IPTC fields on exporting photos aren't being written correctly.
The photo's title (Object Name) and description (Caption/Abstract) are written correctly to the exported jpeg file for the photos I exported under 26.0 but if I export them again (or any new photos, which of course is how I noticed) then the expected fields are empty.
The information is there, but it's in the "wrong" fields. This has happened before - a couple of years ago or thereabouts - so I know how to write exiftool scripts to fix it, but that shouldn't be necessary.
Edit: The entire IPTC block is missing. Only the XMP data is being written. This also breaks Apple's stock apps, such as Shortcuts which expects the metadata to be in the IPTC block.

What do you mean by this? Ublock Origin is free on the App Store.
At the time I checked, it wasn't free. Or maybe it wasn't even there and the ones that did exist weren't free.
Either way, that was only the deal breaker. I wouldn't use it anyway, because I don't really like it. There are better options.
Adding to this, the App Launcher is blank unless you do a search and delete the search.
Some bugs only occur under very specific and obscure conditions. Others are so obvious that you are left wondering how the hell anyone didn't see it almost immediately.
Since I updated twice I got this "" Error message "" and from what I saw is something that happens to several users. I'm at 26.0.1 I hope 26.1 It will have it fixed. I never had it happened to me before.
Error Msg:
Error Msg:
"Your system has run out of application memory" .. NEVER had this happen in Sequoia!
Now I do get that this is a beta... However, for all the talk of Liquid Glass intelligently adapting to whatever’s behind it, this doesn't inspire much confidence
You're just not thinking different enough.
As is usually the case in screenshots, I don't see anything that makes me think of "liquid glass." 90% of the UI is still just plain old flat like the previous versions since Big Sur, and the parts that have changed are almost unreadable.

New descriptor for Finder. Scrolling bug in Safari is still present though
V[deo on Safari choppy and difficult to use, including TV app, Netflix, etc. Same websites/videos play fine on Chrome. I keep wanting to use Safari, but I'm starting to think I should switch and save myself the aggrevation.
MBA M2 connects to WiFi but while green dot connected the internet and local network are unavailable. Glad this is my spare machine!
FYI: On Mac, Netflix will play in 4K only when using Safari. I use Safari strictly for playing Netflix and Brave for everything else.
(Luckily, Safari plays Netflix to an external TV just fine for me.)
