Yu can remove the protocol handler by clicking on the dots menu. What exactly do you refer to as "manage" besides deleting?

A co-worker and I were attempting to add a handler. But there's not a way to do that from what we can tell.

The co-worker is lauren@thinkful.com for any additional info. If possible I'd like to add her as a "reported by" as well.

Handlers can be added added by websites only. For example you can try going to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler/Web-based_protocol_handlers And in the DevTools (right click -> inspect -> console) paste the following navigator.registerProtocolHandler( "web+burger", "https://developer.mozilla.org/?uri=%s", "Burger handler"); You will see a pop-up as in the screenshot. I don't know if the previous UI was allowing manually adding handlers. Need to check Chrome 58 to determine that.

This google forum answer by an expert says it can: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/oxPLcXhbt9w Specifically my co-worker was trying to add a mailto: protocol handler.

What is described in the article you can still do. Specifically, the handler is added by " Open Gmail in Chrome and click the Protocol Handler icon in your browser's address bar." Also checked previous Settings UI, and there does not seem to be a way to manually add a handler, see attached screenshots.

Marking this as WontFix, per comment #7. You might want to follow issue 721871 which is specific to external protocol handlers. |
