@owa For more than a week, web developers have held their fire, assuming Apple might have a new (extremely belated) solution in the works, and Cupertino never talks about anything, so why would this be different?

That silence has gone from "disappointingly ineffective" to "epic self-own". This is a brazen attempt by Apple to sink the competition and claim they were forced to by those DMA meanies.

Time's up. We have to understand silence as an attempt to normalise the indefensible.
