Given Ubuntu this is probably the Chromium Snap?

It doesn't work in KDe Neon too. Why does it not work from snap release of Chromium?

Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2020-06-16 17:27:52 UTC

Snap sandboxing doesn't allow for native messaging host at the moment. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1741074
