When opening a new tab in safari while not browsing in full-screen mode, the safari window expands, in order to preserve the content of the webpage shown. I think this is quite annoying, is there a way to prevent this?

In Safari > Preferences > Tabs, there's a preference for setting when pages should open in windows or tabs.
Look here:
- Open Safari > Preferences and select Tabs along the top
- Under the option for "Open pages in tabs instead of windows:" select "Always" from the drop-down.
This will force every application to open links in tabs.
There is no setting to do this but if you press Command+L the cursor will move to the address bar.

I'm not sure of an elegant solution, but choosing to always show the tab bar will never have to increase the size of the window, since it would always be there
