If both Safari 18.6 and Chrome 139 have both been already opened, when I switch between the two I always need to double click my Apple mouse to get back to my open windows. Any way in Settings to fix this?

Until you have moved your focus ( Mouse in this case ) onto or into the Application of Choice
You do need to single click onto or into the application of choice
Quickly switch between app windows
On your Mac, do any of the following:
There's a keyboard shortcut to switch between Apps, Command > Tab.
You did not fully describe your workflow. FWIW I can switch between Safari and Brave browser or between every other app by single-clicking them in the Dock (although I usually use command-tab for that).
Thank you. Yes, I know about the keyboard shortcut. But I've long been in the habit of using the mouse.
Actually I am finding that this double clicking is necessary on other apps as well. Annoying. There must be some setting I'm missing.
