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.
