Blunt

About the blog 

   Leave it to Apple to be blunt about something users should be aware of but aren't.  Browsers aren't safe for doing anything you truly want to keep private.

   End to end encryption that doesn't leave loopholes for flying airplanes through can't be done.

   How do you securely create a secure handshake?

   You can't.

   The starting point for a browser is always unsecured unless encryption keys are shared ahead of time in a way that doesn't involve the browser.

   The paragraph referenced starts with "You can use messages in iCloud..."

   Why is there a common perception (backwards) that everything is safe and well?

   It's just a guess, but if everyone woke up and realized the truth of the matter... there'd be no shortage of people working the fix the problem(s).
