Safari automatically opens and reopens

Safari opens automatically on my macbook. After I close the app (quit normally or force quit) it opens again in 1 second. Nothing helped me with this issue so far.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.0

Script or extension running in the background?


See if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode, which disables 3rd party extensions and performs some system cleanup.
