Hello good people!

Does anybody know how to get rid of the "shared with you" feature on the Safari-sidebar?

I opened the Messages app once and after that it appeared in Safari.
I already disabled the "shared with you" feature in Messages and every iOS-device, but it just stays in the Safari-sidebar.

Thank you!

In Mac, open Messages –> Preferences –> Shared with you and remove pic near Safari

Hey, thx for the reply!

I already did that and "shared with you" is still in the Safari-sidebar...

Maybe when you open a new tab, there's an option to customize (or sort of) where you can enable/disable elements on that start page

Yes, I disabled the feature on every start-page on every device, what I want is to get rid of the entry on the side-bar, which only appeared after I opened the Messages app.
I'm thinking, maybe resetting some preferences/cache or sth.
hmm...

I guess I was just used to it not being there.
And now it sits there mocking me like: "Harrharr, you opened Messages this one time by accident and now I'm sitting here forever. The function you will never use reminding you all the time that no one will ever share a link with you harrharr."
When I never use a button in the toolbar I drag it out, so why not this one?
