This feature allows developers to opt-in/opt-out of link handling behavior for their applications. *Blink component * UI>Browser>WebAppInstalls <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.chromium.org%2Fp%2Fchromium%2Fissues%2Flist%3Fq%3Dcomponent%3AUI%253EBrowser%253EWebAppInstalls&data=04%7C01%7CLu.Huang%40microsoft.com%7Ce145d8c96a274e3378e908d98387e38e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637685442093438023%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=xOAUgv%2BglsjqhdbXHEExC07Rj0nznR7rXWpsjDYf%2F%2Bc%3D&reserved=0> *Motivation * When clicking on a link, the default behavior is that the browser will open and navigate to the specified URL. However, if a compatible application is installed, a user might prefer to have that application launch and "open" said link. This is the case for native apps that range from media consumption to productivity, where if installed, will open when clicking on a link with related content. This is generally the preferred way to interact with the referenced content. *Initial public proposal* https://github.com/WICG/manifest-incubations/pull/14 *TAG review * - *TAG review status * Pending *Risks* The proposed feature relies on origin and app navigation scope based protections to mitigate risk. *Interoperability and Compatibility* *Gecko*: No signal *WebKit*: No signal *Web developers*: No signals *Debuggability* Most issues that could arise can be investigated using the DevTools Application pane and information visible from chrome://web-app-internals. More debug UI can be added to DevTools if necessary. *Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchromium.googlesource.com%2Fchromium%2Fsrc%2F%2B%2Fmaster%2Fdocs%2Ftesting%2Fweb_platform_tests.md&data=04%7C01%7CLu.Huang%40microsoft.com%7Ce145d8c96a274e3378e908d98387e38e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637685442093448017%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=tEGPtJqlAlUtw5DXnSvOiAeJ49EMbag4SonQUpVsimo%3D&reserved=0>? * No *Flag name * WebAppHandleLinks *Requires code in //chrome? * True *Tracking bug * https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1254457 <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.chromium.org%2Fp%2Fchromium%2Fissues%2Fdetail%3Fid%3D1254457&data=04%7C01%7CLu.Huang%40microsoft.com%7Ce145d8c96a274e3378e908d98387e38e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637685442093448017%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=XsUKVAUtmOuBGQVHn0UQGpu06qqQphrNARkPa9U6crU%3D&reserved=0> *Estimated milestones * No milestones specified *Link to entry on the Chrome Platform Status * https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5740751225880576 <https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chromestatus.com%2Ffeature%2F5740751225880576&data=04%7C01%7CLu.Huang%40microsoft.com%7Ce145d8c96a274e3378e908d98387e38e%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637685442093458017%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=of9id2DPlwoQJVyMly9VTO%2BQ%2BYnXIePMacvd4O8AmsA%3D&reserved=0> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
