Manage Handler Button Not Found

Reported by m...@thinkful.com, Feb 2 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.119 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to chrome://settings/handlers
2. No button is found to manage handlers

What is the expected behavior?
There should be a button to manage handlers as discussed in the forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/oxPLcXhbt9w

What went wrong?
No button to manage handerls

Did this work before? Yes N/A

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.119  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.12.6
Flash Version: 

I have a handler in the settings because I did this in a previous version of Chrome.  Now though I can't set it up to add another handler.

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

Comment 3 by m...@thinkful.com, Feb 2 2018

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.
