vimari currently has a somewhat experimental process to compile and install it locally for Safari 12, detailed here:
https://github.com/guyht/vimari/blob/master/docs/safari_12.md
Note: We are currently working on improving this installation flow, as well as the extension itself. Because vimari now has to be released

While having the Safari Web Inspector focussed, press Command + R on your keyboard.
It's faster than typing document.location.reload();. Further, it doens't matter in which tab you are (Console, Elements, Debugger, or any other tab), so that also also makes it faster than going to the Console Tab, pressing Arrow up follewed by Enter.

The first thing I would do is Clear History from the Safari menu. After that quit and re-launch Safari while holding down the Shift key. That will launch Safari in Safe Mode and disable any third party extensions.
If Safari behaves itself after that, disable your extensions and re-enable them one at a time.
Failing that, more extreme measures are in order. ...

Mine bookmarks preview looks the same as yours; in finder or from terminal you do not have the rights to do something with. However, with Safari | Bookmarks | Edit Bookmarks you can do anything you need with it - deleting an item, renaming, modifying the address. If you need to export it, you can do it from File | Export Bookmarks... - and will be exported ...

I was able to fix this annoying behavior with flushing local DNS cache:

There's nothing in the release notes that would indicate this has been fixed, so it's likely a new bug. I don't do Mac OS development, but for this to work, Safari has to tell the OS 'hey, change the mouse pointer when you're over this area.'
Some things you might try:
Reset NVRAM and/or PRAM
If you have multiple monitors, unplug all but the primary one, ...

As OP said, "Internet sharing is on and all the sub-boxes are checked", I think this is the problem.
Not all apps in iOS can detect and use network coming through iPhone USB. Most of them check only Cellular data, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for internet

Once you have iCloud Tabs setup, simply launch Safari on your MacBook and go to Safari Menu ...

Public WiFi hotspots, especially free ones, tend to block certain sites just to limit bandwidth usage or potential liability issues. Workaround number one you have already found: use your own cellular data, which is not always an ideal situation.
VPN software is sometimes a good solution to this depending on if the public WiFi allows VPN connections. If it ...

Got the same problem again, googled my own question.
As it turns out, where exactly you right-click makes a difference. I happened to be doing it on a progress bar, and that gave me the "Save Page As" option, which results in zero-bytes downloads. However, if you right-click the timer or the controls, it gives you a whole other dropdown with some media-...

Or you could just Private Browse.
This stops the auto logging in functionality but leaves the passwords you have for any particular site. This seems to work when I have multiple logins for each site under different email addresses. This does seem to halt the auto login process
The downside, your website history is not recorded. Though that may be a good ...
