It’s like that because that’s how you set your preferences.

Go to Settings > Multitasking & Gestures, and change it to Full Screen Apps if you don’t want resizable windows (which is what the “bent corner symbol” is for).

Use it to drag the page around and stretch out , then tap on the tiny green, yellow and red circles at the top left of a window to exit. Minimize or full screen like on a Mac.OS - iPadOS 26 - Apple

Try moving it up diagonally.
