Grey Screen Pops On Safari

How come when I click a link on a web page to go to another web page, does this type of grey screen pop up??? It’s like a quick view of what’s on the web page. Any way to turn this off??

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

Safari now shows black and white pop up summary of web site It appears there has been an update to Safari or perhaps Apple OS that causes a web page to initially open with a gray and white summary of the opening page of a site. This has been going on for just a few days on my laptop and iPhone. I am guessing there is a setting that controls the way the page is opening. Is this due to the last MacOS update or some preference file on my Mac that cause this unexpected and somewhat annoying behavior.

Safari opening pop up window for every link that is clicked?? When I click on a link on a web page in Safari it is opening a pop up window with the content over top of the actual web page rather than just loading the website itself. You can click outside the pop up and it goes to the normal webpage. Any ideas on why it is doing this all of a sudden or how to turn it off? All search attempts have failed because "pop up" normally refers to a different type of pop up window which doesn't help! See attached pics of an example, first pic is the the actual page and second pic is the pop up that I get over top.

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!

Force Quit Safari

“Press these three keys together: Option, Command, and Esc (Escape)

Or choose Force Quit from the Apple () menu in the upper-left corner of your screen.

Select the app in the Force Quit window, then click Force Quit”

Launch Safari holding the shift key down.
