Hello!

The format WebKit uses for the date still comes from `navigator.language`, so the change is likely due macOS system changes.

If you open Web Inspector and enter `navigator.language`, what is returned?

You should still be able to force the previous "MM/DD/YYYY" format by explicitly setting your first preferred language to "English (US)". In this case, `navigator.language` should show "en-US".
