@Gilyen: Yes, of course -- or open the link in Firefox. But that gets
really annoying after a while. I was hoping for a snap package that
fixes this without me having to build from source. Because if I'm going
to go that far, I'll just remove the damh hard-coded whitelist
completely. It's one of the most horrible ideas I've seen in a long
time.

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.
