Well... My own fix was to used an old version of Ferdium: 6.2.6 works fine openning the link in the default browser.
Thank you anyway.
Why would you close a bug report that hasn't been fixed? A workaround is not a solution.
Just an update. Version 6.2.6 doesn't work anymore. But with new version I noteiced that right click and choose Open Link works fine. However, if I click directly the links doesn't work.
Found a workaround. Right click on Telegram service in Ferdium, click "Edit", click on "Open user.js" button, open and edit "user.js" file, delete existing code and paste the code below, save the file and reload Telegram in Ferdium:
module.exports = (config, Ferdium) => {
document.addEventListener(
'click',
event => {
const link = event.target.closest('a[href^="http"]');
const button = event.target.closest('button[title^="http"]');
if (link || button) {
const url = link
? link.getAttribute('href')
: button.getAttribute('title');
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
window.open(url);
}
},
true,
);
};
Can confirm that @represiv 's workaround solves the issue. Alternatively, if you click on links using the wheel click, they open correctly as well without making any modifications.

Works fine. Thanks
This solution makes jumping from A to K version impossible. After changing to A we are stuck there.
thannks for the workaround . works for me on Version 7.1.1 on Fedora 43

There's one more issue with this solution. Let's take for example this case:
On the top is the pasted link, then there's a preview text (which is also clickable) and then an image. The pasted link works. The image preview works. What it doesn't work is the (clickable) preview text. Since most of the time the preview text has more screen estate than the original link, it's common to click accidentally on the text and again have the "404" error. Is it possible to grab the even on this area too?
