You can view full list of supported chrome: URLs on chrome://chrome-urls page. Note that the lists are different for the Android and desktop versions. In particular, there is no chrome://settings in Android version because there the settings are implemented using native OS forms.

So I tried to solve this on my own and I give up haha. You know when you click a link for Instagram/Facebook/Twitter/Reddit on Google Chrome and it'll ask something like "open with Chrome or Facebook" and you can choose whether it opens in the browser or in the app if you have it downloaded? And then you can say to use that option always or just once. Well I always say just once because I may want either option depending on the situation, but today I accidentally hit always for opening a Facebook link in Chrome instead of in app. Now I can't click a link and tell Chrome to take me to the Facebook app. And I can't figure out how to change the setting to preferably ask me everytime or at the very least always open in the app.
All my Google searching is leading me to settings->apps->default apps->opening links->facebook and setting open supported links to always ask. But it's already set to that and it does nothing, I believe that's because it's referring to when I'm in the Facebook app already and click a link, do I want it to open in the app or in a browser.
So now I'm stuck. I restarted my phone and deleted and reinstalled Facebook. Nothin. Sorry for the wall of text for seemingly a simple issue.
tldr: (Pixel 5, latest Android update) I selected always open with Google Chrome when clicking a Facebook link in Chrome, can't find setting to make it ask again or change it to always open in Facebook app.
What makes it the fastest, best flags etc...
URL protocols exist in the registry as sub-keys to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
For the poster, the key was HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\miroapp.
Deleting the key has solved the problem and Chrome no longer
ask to open these URLs in the desktop app instead of Chrome itself.
This guide page should help.
- How to disable Miro Desktop app pop-up in your browser
I was in the same situation as the original poster and solved the problem by following the steps in the guide.
Before I found the page, I tried these options but neither worked:
- Removing all entries that seemed to be related to the problem in "regedit.exe"
- Editing the configuration under "Apps" in the Windows settings
You cannot invoke Android Settings from web unless you have app which handle custom uri scheme.
to invoke application in android from Webpage there needs to be app which handles call from particular Uri Scheme in android app on android device.
you can create android app which handle custom uri scheme like below for activity to be invoked when url is visited in browser.
<activity android:name=".MyUriActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="myapp" android:host="path" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
myapp://opensettings
if application is exist on android device which handle above uri scheme then you can call setting dialog from your android app after user redirect to myapp://opensettings url in browser.
Based on:
- https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents
- https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings#ACTION_SETTINGS
I feel like it should be possible with something like
<a href="intent:#Intent;action=android.settings.SETTINGS;end;">open settings</a>
but it does not work, for some reason I can't figure out.
I wanted to post the same question with my failing solution and ask what was wrong with my solution.
I guess I'll just post an wrong answer instead.
edit: here's another reference:
Open android application from a web page
edit2: I did some more digging and I think I found out what's wrong with this solution:

Hi All
I have a published web app that uses google chrome on android. The device has a hard keyboard on it and everytime the enter key is pressed it opens a new tab in chrome. Is there anyway to disable new tabs being opened? I saw the block pop ups parameter there for the app... any other JSON setting or setting in intune i can use to resolve this?
