How to always open certain app links in Chrome without prompt
Solution 1:
Tried and tested technique for macOS:
- Have Chrome version > 79
-
Run the following command in terminal
defaults write com.google.Chrome ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox -bool true
Quit Chrome
- Restart Chrome
Solution 2:
As of Chrome 79, you can edit use a custom policy to get this behavior back: https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox
@abhishek-ranjan answer provides the way to do it on macOS.
On Windows:
- Open regedit
- Either under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
(for everyone using the computer) orHKEY_CURRENT_USER
(only the current user), create the following key(s) as necessary:Software\Policies\Google\Chrome
- Create a REG_DWORD named
ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox
and set the value to 1 - Restart Chrome
If you want a regedit script to do this, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1013598#c24
