Are you saying, that you want Safari to automatically occupy the entire display

on launch? Or just choose after launch, to not be able to access the rest of the

screen, until you either press Esc or some other button choice to reduce size?


The double-arrow icon in the upper right of the open Safari window will go to

Full Screen. Depending on the version. And in some cases, Esc is about all

you can do, in order to reduce the open Safari to access Finder, etc.


There also is a three-key shortcut, after the application is launched, for Full Screen.

Given how intrusive this view of an application can be, over the top of all others, my

preference would never include a browser or any application to launch direct to F.S.


Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

You need to enable the program to resume what it was doing. so go to:

System Preferences > General > Uncheck "Close windows when quitting an application".

then go to safari, size the window how you want it, in your case put it in full screen, and then quit the program. when you open up safari again it should be in full screen view.

Hope that helps!
