SUMMARY
***
For whatever reason if one has Google Chrome set as their default browser and attempts to open a URL, whether it is a .desktop file or Ctrl+Clicking on a hyperlink in Konsole (likely among others), the link fails to open properly.

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Google Chrome as default browser (note: has to be Google Chrome, bug does not occur in Chromium)
2. Open Dolphin
3. Right click > Create New > Link to Location
4. Set destination to some URL, eg. https://kde.org/
5. Double click on link

OBSERVED RESULT
Chrome opens as expected, but the page shown is text consisting of the raw HTML instead of a proper web page

EXPECTED RESULT
A proper web page

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 38
(available in About System)

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0

Seems to be 439477. Happens when the .desktop file is missing the %u placeholder: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439477#c14
