Disable Multitasking I want to completely disable safari multitasking. This enhancements should be allowed to be disabled. New web windows accidentally gets created when you dragging tabs and accidentally it goes to edge of the screen or just off the tab rows. When a safari window that’s not needed is closed, it can sometimes also close some of the tabs in the other window. The whole thing is tooo frustrating. Settings > Home Screen and multitasking actually has no serious multitasking settings. Practically they are all only Home Screen settings. And definitely no means to disable multitasking. Use large App icons Add to Home Screen Add to library only Show App Library in dock Show suggested in dock Stage manager
