Hello krajshree. Thank you for your investigation.

I have found the issue. Was missing the chromium %U parameter. Somehow the function was persisting in cache for v57 but not in v58. After some time it was not working in either version.

I have fixed it in a .desktop entry. What stes are needed to close the issue, please?
