Actually just solved it myself by going into QBittorrent options, deselecting association with Magnet links, save and exit, then reopen QBittorrent options, and reselecting association with Magnet links.

Yes same here it is really annoying me as it never did this before and they should have fixed it by now as I wrote and told them about it weeks ago!

Re: Opening Magnet Files Using Opera (Problem)

The problem still persists for me. I click on a magnet, the popup appears asking to launch BitTorrent, I check the "always open magnet: links" box, next time I do it, the popup appears again.
It is not site-dependent (it happens by clicking on magnet links from a variety of websites) and deselecting and reselecting the association from BitTorrent doesn't work.
I'm using Opera 71.0.3770.271 and Windows 10 Pro 64 bit v. 1909.

Chromium removed the protocol "Always open" option, but Opera hasn't removed it from its dialogs yet. Just ignore it and pretend it's not there.

@burnout426 As far as I know, now the "always open magnet: links" option works only on HTTPS sites and this setting is remembered separately for each HTTPS site.

ok thanks for the replies. It's a shame that it can't be how it used to be rather than having to click Allow for every magnet link!

@johnd78 Thanks. I'll double check. Just commented on https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/iv8xr3/bug_7103770148_always_open_protocol_links/ to see if going to the https version of the site helps a user.

@john78 I double checked on you are correct. Thanks again for the correction.

Any fix for this? Would love to avoid clicking "Allow" each time. Or do I just rollback to a previous version of Opera?

don't hesitate.

@azuriru That site in question doesn't load over https?
