How to disable "Copy Subject" feature in Safari?

With the advent of MacOS Ventura, when opening the context menu of an image in Safari, the "Copy Subject" item appears with a delay, which causes the items to shift upwards.

Is there a way to disable the "Copy Subject" feature?

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]

iOS16 - how to stop - on screen keyboard toolbar - cut-n-paste icons disappear when you attempt set focus on a Safari webform text box, and are non-consensually replaced with an autofill icon. iOS16 - how to stop - on screen keyboard toolbar - cut-n-paste icons disappear when you attempt set focus on a webform text box, in Safari, and are non-consensually replaced by an Autofill contact icon. How do you disable this annoying, non-consensually, irrelevant behaviour, by iOS, or at best alter it to add the unwanted Autofill contact icon, on almost any text box, rather than replaces the wanted cut-n-paste icons? Wanted icons: Replace by, not even complemented by the following: Unwanted icon :(

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.

Again, feel free to let Apple know it's appalling.

Have you found a way to disable this? It is extremely annoying and I completely share your frustration. Could there be some hidden preference to turn this off?

Extremely annoying, you always end up selecting the wrong menu. Not up to Apple. Who did that? Please make it work or just let us disable it. Thanks.

I encountered the same problem. I think the person who adds this function must not be the kind of developer who often uses the mac safari browser every day. It's an anti-human UI design.

It must have been implemented by a man sent from google to destroy Apple.
