It uses WebTorrent technology to enable users to access torrent files. WebTorrent is an open-source project that can be used as streaming clients on browsers that support and implement it. Brave Browser is among the browsers which do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some users might have gotten used to the interface of uTorrent or Bit Torrent and hence would not want Brave Browser to open torrent files by default on its client. If you are one of these users, here&#8217;s a step-by-step procedure to stop the Brave browser from opening Torrents and Magnet links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Open Brave. Click on the <strong>hamburger menu<\/strong> at the top right &gt; select <strong>Settings. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-26-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"Stop Brave Browser Opening Torrent Magnet Links\" class=\"wp-image-8732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-26-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-26-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-26-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/1-26.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Click on <strong>Extensions<\/strong> in the sidebar menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-27-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"Stop Brave Browser Opening Torrent Magnet Links\" class=\"wp-image-8733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-27-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-27-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-27-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2-27.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Here, turn off the toggle for the <strong>WebTorrent <\/strong>option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"606\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-25-1024x606.jpg\" alt=\"Stop Brave Browser Opening Torrent Magnet Links\" class=\"wp-image-8734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-25-1024x606.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-25-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-25-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-25.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing so will ensure that your torrent files and magnets do not open on Brave by default.
