Starting Safari Technology Preview automatically starts Safari

I have Safari Technology Preview Release 116 (Safari 14.1, WebKit 15611.1.5.3).

When I start STP, regular Safari (Version 14.0.1 (15610.2.11.51.10, 15610) starts up right behind it. Always.

If I start 'regular' Safari only, STP does not start.

Anyone else having this issue?

Same problem here, not sure why and I cannot find a fix. Reported it via feedback but no response from Apple
Hello bryan.m.obrien, that sounds like a really annoying problem to have. I'd love to get to the bottom of it!

Please file a report at feedbackassistant.apple.com and we'll take a look. You'll need to include a sysdiagnose taken after the issue occurs.

@Silverlox, if you feel that your bug report is stuck or hasn't been reviewed, please email web-evangelist@apple.com with your Feedback ID. I'll look it up and return it if we need additional information (i.e., a sysdiagnose).

Thanks, BJ
when I start safari technology preview, the window switches back safari, If both safari apps are open at the same time.
Problem still happening at beta 4 of Big Sur.

I've been experiencing the same problem for some time now. I can't ever open up Safari Tech Preview without Safari also opening up.
