Well, you have the Code of Conduct, and we do not have normal software
that would not break user systems. Is there any correlation here we
cannot discuss because of the Code of Conduct.

I am very sorry that my rudeness upset such unique snowflakes as the
snap team.

The problem is described two years and still present, the importance is
"Wishlist".

Is somewhere an open technical discussion about solving the problem in
Ubuntu, other than the request to submitting url schemes to the
whitelist? In my opinion, this is a fundamental architectural problem
and it cannot be solved by PR from a third-party developer.

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.
