As I said earlier I totally agree with the comment above : Manual whitelisting from the snap team will always be a blocker for such a widely adopted use of an important browser.
That will push people to use chrome which IMO a failure on the libre software side. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776873 Title: Whitelisted allowedURLschemes breaks some desktop apps Status in snapd: Triaged Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/7952972d4897e085030b288e44dc98b824f6723a/userd/launcher.go#L55 snapd has a hard-coded list of allowed URL schemes. Currently that is limited to "http", "https", "mailto", "snap". We have a number of applications in the store which are trying to use protocol handlers outside this scope and break when that's not possible. e.g. Telegram Desktop: tg:/ Github Desktop: git:/ IRCCloud Desktop: irc:/ These are the ones I know of, others may also be affected. Can we please at least expand the list to those that we know of, and perhaps research other popular protocol handlers? Ideally we wouldn't have a whitelist, because this delays our ability to land new applications with as-yet unknown url schemes.
