I want to reset the window position to default, the one it had the very first time I opened Safari. I know I can drag the window to any position/size I like but what I want is to go back to the original coordinates and size set by Apple. I searched for a com.apple.safari.plist file to delete but there's none. Any idea?

com.apple.Safari.plist is in a container. (
plutil -p ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist)

Quit Safari, then in terminal type:
defaults delete com.apple.Safari "NSWindow Frame BrowserWindowFrame"

when you restart Safari, it should be in the 'initial default' location.
 
"The domain/default pair of (com.apple.Safari, NSWindow Frame BrowserWindowFrame) does not exist"
Any idea on how to do it on 10.15.7 Catalina and newer?
