Hi Sven Meyer, I'd like to address one bit of your article:
"... and I do not understand the reaction - Samuele Pedroni (pedronis) wrote on 2020-04-23: "Contributing to the discussion with rudeness is not conductive to collaboration, and will be moderated."" The reason for Samuele's comment was that there was a user in this thread who posted a comment full of swearing (with the F-word) in a non- constructive way. That comment was removed rather quickly, so I believe not many people saw it. Samuele's comment on its own indeed can be confusing. I fully agree with him that rudeness is not the way to go. For the record, I am also a frustrated Ubuntu user who suffers from the same bug, but I felt it important to point this out, to be fair to both sides. I fully agree with your article otherwise, but IMO it might be better to leave out this part. -- 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.
