  It works on Intel Safari as well.

    It doesn’t work on my Intel Macs unless it’s really slow.

      Maybe it is! I mostly use it to select text in social media images for which it feels reasonably responsive.

      It works for me on an Intel MPB (2020) but it's probably a lot slower. On this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface it takes almost ~10 seconds for the text in the first image to become selectable after page load. With local images / PDFs in Preview it's really quick though
