Summary Missing video contextual menu items with preload none

Created attachment 462494 [details] Example preload none video html Safari 16.0 (17614.1.25.9.10, 17614) on macOS 12.6 (21G115) When a video has the attribute preload="none", Safari has an extremely limited contextual menu that's missing items such as "Open Video in New Tab", "Download Video", and "Copy Video Address", even if the video has a "src" attribute. It's unnecessary to download any video metadata to perform any of these actions. This behavior is different from Chrome and Firefox, which offer many more contextual menu items for preload="none" videos. I'm attaching screenshots of preload="none" screenshots for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, as well as preload="metadata" for Safari.
