Background App Refresh on MAC?

Wondering, when minimized, do apps like Safari continue to refresh - when I look at my activity log it seems so. If so, is there a way on a Mac Studio to turn that off, so when you minimize Safari or anything else, it stays dormant until you open it again?

You're welcome. As long as you aren't having memory issues leaving them open is fine. Most of my Macs are on 24/7 although I only keep a browser open. Not for any reason other than I don't see the point of keeping apps open I may not use. Just a personal choice. I also never add anything to my Desktops. Just clutters them up. But that's me.
