I wonder why Vivaldi didn't ask?
Here is a screenshot of Opera Mini, which intercepts and asks if it's on.
If you need to reproduce the problem, download the aliexpress app first, and then open it https://m.aliexpress.com , click Get now,Jump to the app without asking.
This problem has a great impact, because there are many websites, it does not need to click, it will automatically jump to the app.
I hope to get an answer soon and when it will be fixed.

No one's paying attention to this?

@q153513851 Probably not that many people are interested on it.

Also, that is more of a feature request, so you should wait at least for the release of three major versions of Opera for Android to bump the topic.

@q153513851 It's not a problem that needs to be solved, it's just a request that can or can not be accepted.

@leocg I think this is the basic function of a browser.

@q153513851 Why? If I'm on a browser, why don't open links in the web pages on the browser?

@leocg In your country, websites will not open app without authorization, but in our country, 80% of websites will open app without authorization. Can you imagine that every time I visit a website, it will open their app?
Yes, in your country, it's just a dispensable function, but for us, without this function, we can't use Opera normally.
Imagine that every time you open Google, it jumps to Google App without authorization. What a terrible thing

@q153513851 So the links are opened in external apps even with the setting for it being turned off?

@leocg Even if I didn't install the app, it would jump to play store for me to download

Imagine that every time you open Google, it jumps to Google App,Even if I don't have Google App installed, it will jump to play store for me to download.
All this is done automatically. Without asking the user's will, it will automatically jump to the app.
In China, almost all websites with app will jump to app, so for us, this is a more serious problem than crash. Crash only happens once in a while, but every time we open any website, we will jump to app or play store.

@q153513851 Then shouldn't you report the problem instead of asking for a feature that, basically, is already there?
