My update went terrible. First time I've ever had a problem with the update. Computer crashed, wouldn't re-start. Had to boot from prior version of High Sierra. I'm waiting until things are sorted out.
So, uh… why’d they do this to Safari? Why can’t I say “allow first party cookies only”? Look, I know that it never worked. IT NEVER WORKED. I ALWAYS got third party cookies. But this was a conscious decision they made, to change this feature. They took time to go into Safari and actually do something. AND THEY DIDN’T BOTHER TO ADD A COOKIE WHITELIST. Do they care anymore?
Also, is “prevent cross-site tracking” Apple’s way of saying, “We’re wiping the HTTP REFERER when you click on a link,” or is it something else entirely? Because I’d like to wipe my HTTP REFERERs but there’s no Safari extension to do that.
Looks like I'll have to switch back to Firefox. Thanks for that, Apple...

This isn't a change. Safari 11.0.3 has the same options:
