Chrome Intents doesn't work in built-in gmail browser

Reported by mishamis...@gmail.com, Jan 17 2018

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open link in Gmail built-in browser on Android
2. Then click on button which contains link such as intent://twitter.com/zalmanua/#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end
3. Link doesn't work. It writes "Navigation is blocked"

What is the expected behavior?
When we click on link such as intent://twitter.com/zalmanua/#Intent;scheme=https;action=android.intent.action.VIEW;end It  asks us which app we want to open this link.

What went wrong?
Redirect to Chrome or any other apps doesn't work

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.111  Channel: stable
OS Version: 5.0.1
Flash Version:

I'm guessing this is Webview in Gmail?
Yes. It is WebView

Status: WontFix (was: Unconfirmed)
intent: URLs aren't typically supposed to work from web content, and whether any particular type of intent link is supported by an app is down to the app in question.

Unless the behaviour here has changed as the result of a webview update, then this almost certainly isn't a bug. Gmail is likely disallowing this on purpose; it's not a good idea to allow intent: URIs to be invoked by arbitrary third party content.
