Links don't open properly on Linux when Mullvad Browser is set as default

Doesn't work properly in linux.

To get it to work correctly, you need to modify the shortcut by adding the %u parameter in one of three places /home/user/.local/share/applications/start-mullvad-browser.desktop

Exec=sh -c '"$(dirname "$")"/Browser/start-mullvad-browser --detach %u || ([ ! -x "$(dirname "$")"/Browser/start-mullvad-browser ] && "$(dirname "$*")"/start-mullvad-browser --detach %u)" dummy %k %u

Full instructions:

  1. download and unzip the browser
  2. run it with the --register-app parameter
  3. modify the created shortcut by adding the %u parameter to it
  4. execute xdg-settings set default-web-browser start-mullvad-browser.desktop

that's it, now it's default, links from other applications are opened and no repositories are needed.
