A new issue (bug) with "Link to Tweets"

Ever since Apple's recent macOS and Safari updates... DU is not displaying "Links to Tweets"... I've never had a problem in the past, but now whenever I visit a post with a blue "Link to Tweet"... Is displays momentarily as the page loads and then disappears.

This behavior does not happen in Chrome for macOS... Just thought someone should know.

Upon edit: "Links to Tweets" do display properly in Apple's new "Safari Technology Preview" though. So, maybe it's a bug in the current market release of Safari.

check the privacy settings and the list of plug-ins that might be interfering with Twitter.

Same symptom: the link appears as the page loads, then Poof! It vanishes.
My work-around is to reload the page, and click on the link before it disappears. That goes directly to the Twitter page in the same window.
Did not see any plug-ins that would seem to interfere.

... with the current release of Safari or Firefox or with DU.

However, the issue seems to be resolved now.
