Finicky version: 4.2.2
macOS version: 26.5, Apple Silicon

Feature request

Currently, options.logRequests: false only suppresses the additional opener detail log (the "Opening X from app Y" entry). The following entries are always logged regardless of this setting:

URL received | url: https://...
Starting browser | name: ... | url: https://...

From a privacy standpoint, having every clicked URL written to a persistent log is undesirable. The logRequests option implies control over all request logging, but in practice it only covers a subset.

Expected behavior

options.logRequests: false should suppress all URL and browser routing log entries, including "URL received" and "Starting browser".

Suggested behavior

Treat logRequests: false as full silence — no URL or routing entries logged. Warnings and errors (config issues, failed browser launches) should still appear regardless of this setting.
