Safari showing “read-only” texts.

For quite some time now i’ve been using Google Chrome on all my Apple devices because in these past couple years Safari has been showing “read-only”texts on some sites. and i hope i’m using the term correctly.

heres an example

and here’s what the same site looks like on Google Chrome

Has anyone else experienced this with Safari? I thought by now it would’ve been fixed.

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.

More Safari gibberish in a long line of Safari gibberish After updating to Sonoma and Safari 17, certain websites can't display readable text. I have read similar descriptions that go back to 2004 with all manner of complicated solutions that don't seem to work in 2023. Here a screenshot from Strava's website: I can select the gibberish and paste it into Text Edit and it's readable. Why only certain websites? Seems like any adjustments I make to my Mac couldn't possibly affect a problem that seems rooted in individual website's code, no? -D
