Hi, I'm just bumping this old thread, not because I plan to implement it but because I was mentioning it on slack the other day and realized not everybody is #standards:
https://webkit.slack.com/archives/CTY7Z24RZ/p1587142539064000 In particular, my question was related to safelist VS blocklist discussion from https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3998 From the slack replies as well as https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2019-November/030967.html it seems a complete switch to blocklist is not the option preferred for WebKit (if we ever decide to implement this API) so that's what I commented on the spec / blink-dev discussions. -- Frédéric Wang On 04/07/2015 19:24, Sam Weinig wrote: > (Sorry, had this sitting in my drafts). > > My concern with the registerProtocolHandler() API is that it complicates an > already the very complicated area of custom protocols and a good > implementation requires configuration UI (to choose which of potentially > multiple apps/websites you want a specific protocol to go to) that I am not > sure users are in the position make. > > That, coupled with the small existing usage on the web and very few (if any) > reports from developers that they want this, leads me to think it isn’t a > good API for us to support. > > From an implementation perspective I also have concerns.
