How to stop new safari windows from opening in full screen?

You're welcome.

I don't understand how to use 'Tiling' and stupid Siri AI would not answer my question on how to stop it from filling the full screen.

Tile windows on Mac - Apple Support

I agree - another feature that I did not want.

You may not. However, there are those that do. Some people have even paid for third-party apps in order to have Tiling before macOS Sequoia. Different strokes… :)

Thanks for the link. But there is nothing I see (am I being dense?) about turning Tiling off.

I just want to custom size the Safari windows. And have it restored to that when I restart Safari.

Thank you!

All I have wanted to do since getting this new Mac mini Pro is to stop Safari from filling up my screen when I reopen it. I want the windows to look the way it did when I closed it.

Ah, I hope I found it.

Change window tiling settings on Mac - Apple Support

It's not a bug. It's the new Tiling feature. You can disable the features in System Settings > Desktop & Dock under Windows.

System Settings > Desktop & Dock. Scroll down to Windows. Disable the tiling options.

Yeppers :)
