Reader View--can't turn it off How do I disable Reader View in Safari for Mac--in Sonoma? Safari is not listed in the System Settings (any more, I think it used to be) and searching on "Reader" gets nothing.

How can I disable Webpage summarization in Safari Reader? I would like to have the old Reader function, which presented the entire text and minimized ads. Reader now summarizes the text, cutting out 2/3 of it or so. I have Apple Intelligence OFF in the System Settings. Looking in Safari Prefs I haven't found any reference to this Reader function. Do we just get AI's dumbing down of content whether we want it or not? Or is there an option? [Re-Titled By Moderator]

Turn off "Reader Available" in safari adress bar As a developer, I frequently rely on quickly checking website URLs in the browser's address bar. However, with a recent Safari update (18.2 ), this process has become unnecessarily frustrating. When visiting a website, Safari initially displays "Reader Available" in the address bar instead of immediately showing the actual URL of the page. This delay significantly disrupts my daily workflow and is incredibly irritating. Is there any way to disable this feature? It feels like Safari—and macOS software in general—is becoming less user-friendly with every update and increasingly filled with bugs.

Just don’t use it. There is no disabling it.
