SUMMARY

The "Install the stable version in an easy way" button on https://krusader.org/get-krusader/index.html does nothing when clicked. If I right-click on it and use "Open in new tab", it produces a window with the URL:
appstream://org.kde.krusader.desktop
but it is a blank window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. visit https://krusader.org/get-krusader/index.html
2. click on "Install the stable version in an easy way" button
3. OR right-click on it and use "Open in new tab"

OBSERVED RESULT
1) as per Step 2 above, nothing happens
2) as per Step 3 above, the new window has the URL appstream://org.kde.krusader.desktop but it is empty.

EXPECTED RESULT
Some sort of dialogue or webpage would appear, offering download options or an explanation of what is necessary to install to make download possible.

This works for me - your browser appears to either lack support for the appstream:// URI or your package manager / distribution doesn't provide the necessary components for this to work.

Please follow this up with the Mint developers as it works for me on OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 using Brave (and offers to install using Discover as expected)
