Hello and thanks for sending in the issue!
Do you get any error message in the background page of the extension? (More Tools -> Extensions | Details -> background page)
If not, have you tried right-clicking -> Add torrent?
I suspect this is a deliberate design limitation of Chrome (Since I can't choose which application should be allowed to handle file/link like you can in Firefox) since it defaults to which ever application your OS: https://askubuntu.com/questions/303033/changing-the-torrent-programm-for-magnet-url
I'll try and look out for any solution that would make this functionality work, but at the moment the only workaround is to right-click the link -> Add Torrent.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I should have explicitely mentioned that: adding a magnet link via right-click is working fine.

I just stumbled across another extension (I like yours better, though :smiley: ) and quickly tested adding magnet links, seems to work there.
Thank you very much :)
I see, I'll have to look into their solution.
I have the same problem.
I also have the same problem. At the same time, I noticed that some extensions can be left-clicked to directly add magnetic link, such as Download Manager (for Synology) , There should be a way to bypass chrome restrictions.
Describe the bug Instead of adding a magnet link to the configured client, clicking a magnet link prompts the xdg-open chrome popup. Adding torrent files works as expected. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior Add magnet link to client Desktop (please complete the following information):
Remote torrent client
edit: Adding magnet links via right-click is working fine.
