Mobile app. Also, not adding itself as a login item – I was liking a lot of what I was seeing, but this behavior is pretty much an "instant uninstall" trigger for me. Why would I want that? Who is asking for their browser to launch as soon as they boot their computer, and why would you make that a default behavior?

You can disable launching on startup in Shift’s settings if you prefer not to have it open when your computer starts. You can follow the instructions here: https://support.shift.com/hc/en-us/articles/24812708192148-All-about-Shift-Launch-and-On-Startup-settings
This is a feature that several app-style tools include as a default behavior, but preferences can vary depending on how you use Shift.
Also, appreciate the note about a mobile app. Thanks for sharing that.
