Description

Hey,

I was wondering if there's a way to stop Keybase from automatically adding itself into the Favorites sidebar on macOS when it launches? Either that or having it remember where we move it to, but also not having it's icon be the boring macOS "Shared" Drive. Doing a Get Info on the icon on the Favorites icon shows a proper custom icon, it's just not coming up in Finder.

(Yeah, this is one of those ranty OCD UI posts ;-)

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing Keybase's launch behavior in macOS Finder and inspect the client code responsible for sidebar integration; done should mean the unwanted Favorites entry is prevented or its placement is reliably preserved, with the icon displayed correctly.
