Safari 14 tab preview on hover

Now that I have Safari 14, when I hover over a tab I get a preview box showing an image of the entire page. This is not useful to me and rather distracting. I can't find a way to turn it off in Safari preferences. Has anyone found a way to disable this?Sa

Open Terminal and type:


defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1


Launch Safari. A new menu named Debug should appear. Uncheck Debug -> Tab Features -> Show Tab Preview on Hover.


If you want to hide the Debug menu again, type in Terminal:


defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0
