Chrome launches another app based on the extension of path part of URL

Reported by mayurjan...@gmail.com, Jun 26 2018 
Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. On android devices install chrome 
2. Visit any url ending with.au
3. It shows the sugestions of music apps to launch the app with. Even for html Pages. 

What is the expected behavior?
It should check the header signature for file and show the page as web page. Same with othe media format mp4, mp3 or pdf etc.

What went wrong?
Instead of checking header signature its checking for extension of file.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 67.0.3396.87  Channel: n/a

Thank you for reporting the problem to us.

I tried to reproduce but no succeeded. Can you share a few URLs you observed the behavior? I tried msn.com.au.

Also is it possible for you to check other phones? It is possible that your phone has some software/settings installed.

Comment 2 by mayurjan...@gmail.com, Jun 26 2018 

msn.com.au is an domain name. Url should be in format like www.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxx.au


Please try this link on my site developed for description purpose
https://www.mayurjangale.com/xxxxxxxx.au

This page is in html and header is html too but without detecting any header its directly opening the page as media file.

Tested on On Pc and Android.

I don't think this is a bug in Chrome -- any Android app can declare to handle *.au, and that includes URLs that end in .au. The first time you navigate to such a URL, you should get a prompt asking you with which app to open the URL; there you can choose to always use Chrome.
