I'm wondering. Is it me or Safari is on version 16.2 on Ventura 13.2 (a), whilst Big Sur and Monterey get to download and install Safari 16.3? What am I missing?

Anyone else with worse battery life on 13.2? just doing light Photoshop while Youtube, and Discord, ran in the background I lost 37% in 90min. This is on my 14in Pro. This seems to be about 8-10% worse than typical for me in this timespan.

The workaround to this is to double-click this topbar thing:
