Hi everyone!
I'm trying to find out how to use the new feature for hiding destracting items in Safari with VoiceOver. On 'iOS I know how to do it, but I don't find out how to do so on macOS. Does anyone of you know how to do it?

Is it the reader mode you're referring to? If so, press cmd +shift +R when you're on a web page that supports the feature.

You can also click the Reader icon (four lines) in the URL bar if available.

You can hide distractions in Safari 18 / macOS Sequoia 15, the feature is called "Distraction Control". However, the feature seems to be completely inaccessible for VoiceOVer users at the moment.
