Safari sends links to reading list

I never choose to put anything in the "Reading List" but links keeps being sent there. Only on the odd occasion can I just watch, view, or click a button and it work like you would expect. Even settings buttons are being sent there.

Safari is saving clicked on links to my reading list, rather than opening them Hey all I just noticed today that Safari is saving clicked on links to my reading list, rather than opening them. The only way I can get it to open a link is the left click on it and select "open link in a new tab or window." Is there anything can do to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help or advice.

Popups in Safari I am often getting popups (see attachment) when I search something in Safari. It is like a small insert screen giving me a short description of the subject, with links to websites. It is not a big deal on my iMac, as I can click to the side and get rid of it. But, when it happens on my iPhone or iPad I do not have that option and cannot go any further, unless I click on the link, which does me no good. Does anyone have an idea how I stop this from happening? Thanks!

Check Safari/Preferences/Advanced to make sure Reading List - Save articles for offline reading automatically isn't checked.
