This was done (a) without permission – user is not prompted about this change; and (b) without explanation – user is not informed what this is, what it's for, or why/how to use it. After manually removing it from Finder's sidebar, Keybase then re-adds itself to Finder's sidebar. There appear to be no preferences/configuration options to change the behavior.\r\n\r\nSteps to reproduce:\r\n\r\n1. Observe \"Keybase\" in macOS Finder sidebar\r\n<img width=\"172\" alt=\"keybase 1 screen shot 2017-06-28 at 10 13 45 pm\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/166752/27670051-e90b374e-5c4f-11e7-8232-accb99e3181b.png\">\r\n\r\n2.

The fact that the Keybase client never asks for permission from the user before adding itself to the very visible Favorites sidebar, along with the fact that it silently adds itself even after the user removes the shortcut, make this behavior quite unfriendly to the user.\r\n\r\nI don’t believe that this is the intended effect, or that Keybase wants to take away the choice a user should have in managing their own favorites, so I consider this a bug."}}
