Why Beanbag Client Can Modify Mac's Default Browser

I'm really puzzling. Every time I install a byte bean bag, the default browser in the Mac settings will change from Chrome to a bean bag the next day without my knowledge or consent.
After uninstalling the bean bag, this strange phenomenon disappeared.
What is also puzzling is that although Beanbag changed the default browser to itself, when I clicked on the link, the Beanbag client didn't start, and the Safari browser finally opened the link.
