Enable mailto in google chrome - google-chrome

I am attempting to use the mailto capability with google chrome v107 on Ubuntu 22.04. All the posts I could find are roughly 9 years or older and their content is no longer relevant. It seems that I need some settings for Chrome but I have been unable to discover what they are. Can anyone suggest how to proceed?

Chrome Manifest V3 - Weird behavior in older versions after release to Manifest v3

I've recently released a new version of my extension as V3.
Since the day I released the extension, I see that older versions of my extension are gaining more users. This is super weird. I haven't done anything with older versions, and I can clearly see in the Chrome Web Store statistics of weekly users, that there is a rise in the number of users, right when my extension was released with MV3. This can't be a coincidence.
Did anyone else see this? Any idea why this is happening? I want all of my users to be on the latest version of my extension, especially on the MV3 one.
I tried looking around the web for answers, but couldn't fin d anyone with this issue.
I know it sounds funny, because who would complain about having more users, but I really want to understand why this is happening.
Thanks

Google Chrome .dev not work over http [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to stop Chrome from redirecting to HTTPS?
(5 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
From last update of Google Chrome 63.0.3239.84 the .dev domain of my local development machine does not work anymore becouse the browser force URL over https and I do not have a sicure certificate on my local machine. Is there a way to make it work with .dev?
I do not want to use other domains like .local or .test
I tried to enable/disable this chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost but nothing.
You shouldn't change it.
Since 1999 that the Network Working Group(NWG) wrote a memorandum listing the safe Top Level Domains(TLDs) for development.
Choose one of that list to have a future-proof solution.
Because some developers depend on some tools with this poor approach - I was one of them - you can use a hack to solve this: write badidea when the HSTS warning pops up.
Use this only as a temporary solution and dedicate your time upgrading, or helping upgrade, your tools.
EDIT: Other solutions here.
No, there is no workaround to make .dev work in Chrome; it now belongs to Google.

With Chrome Apps going away, what will happen with Postman?

Apologies if this is not the right place for the question, if it isn't please point me in the right direction.
So Google has just announced that Chrome Apps (packaged or otherwise) are going to be phased out from the Chrome web browser in Windows/Linux/Mac. Where does that leave Postman? I can't find anything addressing this question so far and there doesn't seem to be a standalone web-based or desktop app, at least for Windows.
It will go away and those users who used Google Chrome App will have to switch to one of the others. They have one for Windows and Mac with Linux coming soon.

Google Chrome showed me this message a small div kind of popup.
The upgrade completed successfully.
Google Chrome has successfully upgraded your extension with the new ToFind service.
Continue using toFind services

I don't know when this got installed I never installed anything during this period
I remember installing a software that installed the superfish search plugin(again without my knowledge).
Neither did Kaspersky detect it nor did Google Chrome give any warning.
I managed to uninstall it. But I still get the "find product" button on certain shopping website but I don't see any results.
Now this has come up in the last few days when I had installed no knew software.
I think Google Chrome is vulnerable to this spyware/spamware.
Don't even know what is is
Anybody seen this and know how to uninstall it.
It does not show up in the extensions. I have just a handfull of extensions
Gone through a lot of research basically found nothing on the web, after reviewing all programs installed and extensions for "ToFind" which gives no result.. and as suggested above removed all search engines (except google) from Chrome I still get the annoying floating search thingee on all http pages.
Went on and review the site tofind.info, where the search's setting is pointing to, which reveals a bit more info:
"...The "To Find" functionalities are added by browser add-ons and are available directly using "To Find" add-ons or by partners that publish their add-ons combined with the "To Find" functionalities to their add-ons as addition to their functionalities."
Now Im pretty sure this is something to do with the extensions I have, which may have been bundled with this service.
Once I get to this it doesn't take long for me to pinpoint it by disabling and enabling extensions... for me, it is the "BarDeCo: QR Code Decoder & Encoder/Generator 1.0.0.8" which I need to disable and remove that icon. The thing is, I had this extension for ages, but just recently this search thing pops up.. so it is a bit of annoying and is revealing some weakness in the control Chrome has on its extensions, it doesn't tell user what has changed (like android or iphone apps).
Anyway, hope it helps.
I just managed my search engines in Chrome settings and removed Live Search, Yahoo, and Ask.com from my default search engines, and the "toFind" button disappeared.
I didn't check after doing each one, so I don't know which was the culprit.
I left Bing and Google.

Chrome 22 Developer Tools - Global Sources Search not working right (ctrl-shift-f)

this morning I noticed my Chrome updated to Chrome 22 and that the search in the top right has been removed and can now be accessed with ctrl-f.
I also noticed that ctrl-shift-f is no longer working as expected... (but this is inconsistent)
The global search has been a huge time saver for me, and now sometimes it doesn't work until I've viewed a script at least once.
For example, I have 5 scripts that I know all contain "fn_init"
I search for fn_init and nothing comes up.
I open one of those scripts and then ctrl-shift-f again, and finally get a matching result for just the one file...
Is this working as intended? Am I missing an option or something? My dev tools config options are:
General
Disabled cached
Sources
Show folders checked
Search in content scripts checked
Also: how can I install an older version of Chrome and stop it from updating automatically?
To get an older version of Chrome your best bet is to find a build of Chromium from https://chromium-build.appspot.com/p/chromium/console however if this if for devtools stability you are missing out on a lot of new features and bug fixes.
As for Search across all files it is still there and CTRL-SHIFT-F on Windows and CMD-OPT-F on Mac. See Addy Osmani's post https://plus.google.com/115133653231679625609/posts/e4W2kdrFJY9
