Title:
chromium snap cannot open external apps by uri using xdg-open
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML,
like Gecko) snap Chromium/78.0.3904.97 Chrome/78.0.3904.97
Safari/537.36
Steps to reproduce the problem:
0.run chromium snap on ubuntu
1.open page with link like tg://resolve?domain=abcd&post=123
2.click the link
3.the dialog opens, click "open xdg-open" button
What is the expected behavior?
the system default app must open the link (telegram app in this case)
What went wrong?
after step 3, nothing happens.
if chromium is run from terminal, one may see in terminal the
following text:
user-open error: Supplied URL scheme "tg" is not allowed
Did this work before? Yes ubuntu 19.04, in apt-chromium
Chrome version: 78.0.3904.97 Channel: stable
OS Version: ubuntu 19.10
pls note that the same link opens fine when clicked from "usual" apt
chromium package (tested on both apt- and snap-chromium on ubuntu
19.04, and on snap-chromium on 19.10).
correctly working apt-chromium package was available till ubuntu
19.04. now, since ubuntu 19.10, only snap-version of chromium is
available which is broken

Status: WontFix
We don't maintain or build the snap distribution. You'll have to open an
issue on ubuntu's bug reporting tool against this.
