Issue sharing links to Better Open With #77

Copy link

I am having an issue that seems to be coming from OpenLinkWith. Like many others I believe, I use OpenLinkWith with Better Open With, which allows selecting a browser or using the default when I click a link. When I share a link, I get the share menu (because I have chosen not to set OpenLinkWith to default). I then select OpenLinkWith from the share menu.

Now is when the issue starts. Usually, a menu comes up offering me the choice of Better Open With or Opera. I have Better Open With set as the default browser in OpenLinkWith, so Opera shouldn't be offered. If I was to choose Opera at this point, I get the message, "Failed to open the link with selected app. Try again later". Normally, I will select Better Open With with the "Always" option. However, the next time I share a link, I often get the same two choices.

It occurs to me that, because of the way OpenLinkWith is set to specific links, links I have shared to OpenLinkWith before and selected Better Open With "always" will go directly to Better Open With and links that I haven't shared to OpenLinkWith before will present the Better Open With or Opera choice. However, with Better Open With bring set as the default browser in OpenLinkWith, why am I getting the non-functional Opera option at all?
