[minor bug] "chrome://..."-type bookmarks not opening

Open zanglebert opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hi

Bookmarks starting with "chrome://..." don't open from the 'hello friend' new tab page (e.g. a link for "chrome://extensions").

Note: I don't mean javascript bookmarklets -- I noticed that these are filtered out in script.js. The "chrome://..." ones are rendered in the list, but clicking them doesn't open them.

Hey @zanglebert, I just tried it out and got same problem. Will investigate!

Looks like it's a security feature in Chrome. The following error is outputted in the console, and I haven't been able to find a work around (tried flags like allow-file-access-from-files and enabling Allow access to file URLs in the extension's settings).

Will keep this bug open in case a workaround/fix is found!
