Feature Request: Don't Open Tabs on My Browser or Add Ability to Opt Out

Question

Great utility however the user experience sinks to a low level when you steal focus from what I'm doing and open up new tabs after updates. Surely there must be a better way to announce new features and fixes.

Consider this: When you steal focus and open a new tab, I just get annoyed and immediately close it without viewing or reading any of the the content. How is that beneficial for either party? Yes, I realize that some users may read your update notes. How about giving us the ability to opt out from that FireShot behavior?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it works for new users. We'll include an option to disable announcements for the Pro users in one of the next updates.

Thank you for responding. That would great if you're able to add that option sometime in the future.
