safari opening by itself, even when minimized.

Recently as in the last 24 hours...


Safari has begun to open by itself. I will be in a full screen app, or finder window and then the window or finder will scroll to the safari window.


I can be in a full screen app, and then it will just open up to safari, I can even have safari minimized in the dock, or just opened in the background at the start page.


Does not matter what I am doing, even if I swipe away back to the window or app I was in a few seconds later, safari will just open up again.


The only thing that stops it from opening by itself is if I quit the safari and not have it in the dock.


I don't have any safari extensions installed and nothing in the /Library/LaunchAgents or /Library/Application Support folders.


Any one else experiencing such madness?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
