and a warm welcome to these forums.
You could try this...
...but I cannot guarantee that all browsers will run the code.

I sincerely hope that no browser allows itself to be completely closed by a page running in one of its tabs. (Unexpectedly closing the tab might be annoying, but the entire browser?!)@cootheadApr 14.2021 — #Hi there NogDog,
I only tested the code with [i]Firefox[/i] and [i]Vivaldi[/i]
and both just closed the [b]tab[/b].
I was surprised that it even did that as It was
my understanding that [b]window.close()[/b] only
worked if it had previously been opened with
[b]window.open()[/b].

Button to close the Browser
I am a complete newby and am asking for help.
On my single pure HTML-Page I want a button
to close the window and at the same time close
the browser – without any warning messages.
Could someone supply me with the complete
JavaScript code to accomplish this.
Thank you in Advance for any helping advice.
