How do we remove descriptions from Safari Bookmarks side bark?

Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner. Select "Compact."

So, I just downloaded macOS Tahoe 26.0.1. When I clicked on my favorites bar, all of them had descriptions. However, just to the right of my Favorites bar there is a circle with 3 dots (upper left hand corner on the screen) with 3 horizontal dots. I clicked on that and selected "compact" and it got rid of the description.

you are correct. on sequoia you will not find the "three dots" to change your bookmarks sidebar view.

but you do have a couple options.

the first option, you can lay a new sequoia install over the old one without completely erasing and reinstalling sequoia. afterwards, you will have sequoia with safari 18.6.

and the other option, you may want to look at 6x6's reply in this discussion. if you are comfortable using terminal, their suggestion fixes things for those of us on sequoia with safari 26.0.1.

Also using Sequoia 15.7 and not seeing dots. The descriptions are a nightmare.

please note, if you are going to try the terminal commands, you need to grant terminal full disk access. go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access to do so.

Same issue. I want to remove the descriptions under the website in "Favorites".
