      Beginning today, Opera has begun blocking any and all URL's that I open using a shortcut, asking me if I want to open them. I'm assuming it must be some new 'security feature' added to the latest version but it is extremely annoying. I looked in the settings but I don't see any way to disable this annoying new 'feature'. Is there a way to do that?
      Opera version 85.0.4341.47, Windows 10.

            @lelandiniowa it's because there's said: "Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL"
            While it asks for confirmation on Every link, even if Opera is already started.
            But it works.
