Every time I google something, or go to re-open a closed google tab (gmail or calendar) on Safari, it auto closes a second or two later. It's incredibly irritating. The second time I open the tab, it stays open.<p>I'm using a 16" M1 max MacBook Pro. I use Safari because It's more power efficient with all the tabs I have open and doesn't constantly hound me to login.<p>I've been experiencing this for months since I got the laptop and have noticed a pattern of it occurring on Safari, only with google sites. Is this Apple screwing something up? Or is it google trying to make me switch to chrome? Or am I the only one that has this problem?
The macOS Monterey 12.5 update shows this as one of the fixed items:<p>* "Fixes an issue in Safari where a tab may revert back to a previous page"<p>Maybe related?
Pages can only close windows they opened, so this is probably a browser bug. It seems unlikely anyway that Google would try to get you to switch browsers through strange intentional glitches rather than clear messages.
