Hello,

Today I was surprised that Ali Express application was automatically opened when I clicked on a web page.

This is done by downloading content/type file into the browser which cause launching external application.

The application may get information out of the page such as cookie or ip:port to match it with the user of the application, breaking the semi-privacy setup.

I do not see any option to disable automatically download/launch these kind of files.

Does anyone know how to block this behavior?

Thanks, Alon
