Looks like there is a custom library that Blockstack.js uses to handle the custom protocol called custom-protocol-detection-blockstack.

Seems like there just needs to be additional logic to handle ChromeOS.

Thanks for the pull request to https://github.com/larrysalibra/custom-protocol-detection/pull/1 - I've pushed a new release 1.1.4 of the library to NPM and will make a pull request to update the browser with it.

I am experiencing this same issue on Chrome OS. I can use the browser fine https://browser.blockstack.org/ but when I click the "Sign in with Blockstack" button on any app I get the dialog box at the beginning of this thread. Chrome OS ver. 71.0.3578.94

I see it on Version 71.0.3578.127 also.

Still have this Problem on Chrome OS Version 85.0.4183.131

Thanks for these additional reports. I'm re-opening so that @timstackblock can attempt to recreate the bug on our end so we can fix.
