However, it does not work on Chrome or Firefox browser running on a Win11 PC where Telegram Desktop is not installed.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Verify that Telegram Desktop is not installed on a PC running Win11
  2. Open https://telegram.me/share/?url=Hey,... in a browser
  3. Click the "Share" button
  4. Nothing happens

Expected behavior The message should open in Telegram Web as if it is being forwarded, at the stage of selecting the recipients.
