Safari settings issue

Why Safari as me the following: Settings for discussion. any website.com Then a pop up menu shows: See image menu below. I just visited the apple.com website and Safari indicated the underlined sentence. when I search for something on google and a click on a website this action shows 100% of the time. I I type the website using www. first Safari does not shows the underlined statement above.

Safari problem under Ventura 13 I can't find this issue referred to among the many problems with Safari. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, so I will also include a screenshot or two: When I navigate to a website, then click on something specific on the website, such as a particular subject mentioned on a Wikipedia page, rather than hyperlink to that specific sub-article within Wikipedia, I am confronted with a drop-down bare page of slightly enlarged type from the sub-article, but without any accompanying images-just a large, bare page of text. This didn't happen two months ago, but it does now, and it doesn't happen in Google Chrome. I would like it to stop. It may be a result of some stupid move on my part, but I can't find a preference for it anywhere in Safari. See images: one shows what happens in Safari. The other shows what I get in Chrome.

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!

Safari won't show the search result page but go straight to website When I search for something on Safari, for example, "flower", it usually shows a result page of all the relevant websites, right? From top to bottom, with a few sponsored searches on top, we're all familiar with that. But sometimes, not always, it will go straight to any website that is directly named as my search. Like if someone made a www./flower.com website, Safari will lead me there and not the search page. If the website doesn't exist it would just straight up tell me it can't direct me there or something. Another problem I have that I think is connected to this is that sometimes when there is a space bar in my search, Safari replaces it with %20 and makes it impossible for me to search for anything. Even if I cut the %20 out or delete it, it just appears again. ("Ask a question" becomes "Ask%20a%20question). I looked around and apparently, it's like a code thing, but none of the pages tell me how I can get rid of it. This is really annoying and it always seems to know when I'm in a rush to show up. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

Hello modesto from marietta,

Based on what you're describing, it looks like you're seeing website settings. This lets you adjust and see permissions and functions for individual websites and is described in greater detail at Change Websites settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support and Customize settings for each website in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

This is perfectly normal to be able to access.

Cheers!
