@yrliou could you address if pasting the magnet link into a Tor window should perform a search (as is current behavior) or if it should do something else? We can get a new issue logged if current behavior is not expected.

[yrliou]

@LaurenWags I think it's the expected result since webtorrent is disabled in Tor profile.

sounds good, thanks @yrliou 😄
