how to turn off web inspector pop up when on Safari

[Davycrocket825]

when I’m browsing on Safari I get the web inspector pop up how do you turn it off ?

Developer menu available in Safari? If so, go there and under the third menu item, the name of your machine, see if Automatically Show Web Inspector is on.

Long shot, as this flags does not seem to do this, but, from a Terminal, run the following as see if WebInspectorAttached is zero. I toggled it and did not seem to cause the inspector to always open.

% defaults read com.apple.Safari | grep WebKitInspectorAttached
    WebKitInspectorAttached = 0;
    WebKitInspectorAttachedViewHeight = 0;
%

Thank You. I could not figure out how to stop the windows from popping up. Sometimes I would get ten windows to close.

The Web Inspector is probably popping up by accident. To turn it off, look at the top menu bar in Safari. If you don't see "Develop" up there, go to Safari preferences (usually under the Apple icon), click "Advanced", and tick the box next to "Show Develop menu in menu bar". Then, click "Develop" and choose "Hide Web Inspector". This should stop it from opening unless you tell it to.
