Disable annoying text boxes on Safari

How do I get rid of the little hovering gray box that says open link in new tab and 10 other options (see screen shot)? It takes me twice as long to get my work done when I am constantly clicking to get rid of that box. New Mac, the old Mac didn't do this.

MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, 2024)

You are invoking the “Right Click” or Secondary Click menu. Check the options for your mouse or trackpad to determine which options you have set for Secondary Click.
