Pop off before closing/ quitting an app

Is there a setting that makes a pop up appear asking me if I really want to close/ quit an app? If there isn't for all apps, is there one for safari specifiaclly?

how to block "screensaver.app" pop-up in Safari 12.1.1 Yesterday and today, each time Safari 12.1.1 is opened, an annoying pop-up jumps to the centre of the screen: “ScreenSaver.app“ wants access to control “Safari.app“. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari.app“, and to perform actions within that app. Clicking the "Don't Allow" button closes the window momentarily then it reappears. I don't want to click the "OK" button. Unless this can be remedied, I'll close Safari permanently and choose another default browser.

Unwanted app launches from iOS/iPad OS Safari Since I installed iPad OS 13 when I open Safari it frequently instantly launches another app, and I find myself, not in Safari, but unexpectedly in YouTube with a loud video blaring at me. Is there a way to set the default to never, ever doing this? This is especially true if I just launched Safari (what’s a case where anyone would want or expect this?) — but ideally l would prefer Safari (and for that matter all apps) to always ask permission to before launching another app.

Hi there,

There's no official option to do this, but there are alternative workarounds. If you are comfortable following it, I found a guide: https://medium.com/macoclock/how-to-get-confirmation-alert-before-quitting-safari-on-macos-f76aef37477e which might help with what you're doing, although it does require to copy an AppleScript.
