Unable to "Hide" Safari

Extremely annoying!! The only way to close window is close out Safari! Disgusting! Am running Safari Ver 15.6.1. on my MacBook Pro.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Hello Cav16,


To help us get a better understanding of the issue, we’d like to ask a few questions.


  1. To help us better assist you, can you let us know more about your goal? For example, are you wanting to minimize a Safari window, or something else?
  2. If you aren't able to minimize Safari windows, can you let us know if you're able to minimize

other app windows without an issue? Those details will help us get a better understanding of the situation.


If you'd like more information on the process to maximize or minimize app windows, please check out this link, which outlines how to do that on Mac: Manage app windows on Mac


Maximize or minimize app windows

On your Mac, do any of the following in a window:
• Maximize a window: Press and hold the Option key while you click the green button  in the top-left corner of an app window. To return to the previous window size, Option-click the button again.

You can also double-click an app’s title bar to maximize the window (as long as the option to do so is set to “zoom” in Dock & Menu Bar preferences).
• Minimize a window: Click the yellow minimize button  in the top-left corner of the window, or press Command-M. 

You can set an option in Dock & Menu Bar preferences to have a window minimize when you double-click its title bar.

Most windows can be manually resized. Drag the window’s edge (top, bottom, or sides) or double-click an edge to expand that side of the window.


Thanks!
