8:16 these protocols have been around since Windows 8, almost every UWP app has its own protocol so it can be called basically anywhere in the system.
There're also a number of protocols and URI Schemas that can be used on iOS to launch apps in different states, like different pages of the Settings app, and if I'm not mistaken, SpringBoard (the home screen). These can be used from a shortcut within the Shortcuts app (by Apple), which allows you to make some rather nifty shortcuts (not to mention that shortcuts can execute commands on remote machines via SSH, which is a completely different, but very interesting, topic).
@FlameRat_YehLon3 жыл бұрын
The problem though, is that most of the apps seems to be not that well documented, probably to avoid people finding a way to skip launch ad or something...

@AaronOfMpls4 ай бұрын
Not all URI schemes go through the registry, either; they can be in the browser's own settings, too. Firefox has always had this ability in its Applications settings, to set what to do with specific kinds of files or URL protocols: either open it with a specific program, save the file to disk, or ask the user what to do in a pop-up. And since I run Firefox on Linux, I don't really have a Windows Registry for this to be stored in. (Though Linux has its own ways of setting/storing "environment variables". And Wine has its own Windows-like registry, used by Windows programs running in Wine.)

"chrome:" is not just used for google chrome (and chromium). It is also used in Firefox, but for a slightly different purpose. In firefox it refers to the chrome of the firefox window, as in: everything that isn't the website itself (think of the menu, favorites and status bar, the tabs, etc.). I don't know for sure, but I believe that plugins sometimes also use them, whenever they don't use "moz-extentions:".

6:28 I think it's worth just to add on to this (if not just because it's an interesting fact to know): There's actually nothing special about what we call "email addresses" that set them apart from normal URLs. The part before the "@" specifies what the username is, and you can add that to basically any url and the server will use that as your username. It's also possible to send both a username AND password, but these are not supported by most modern websites for obvious reasons. back on topic: The only thing that makes an email an email is the "mailto" scheme at the beginning which tells the client to use the address for sending and receiving emails. Almost all email clients like Gmail and Outlook will implicitly assume it's there the same way web browsers will assume urls have the http prefix when entered there.

10:20 As a librarian, I used to use a program that had z39.50 support. It was old and not a web browser, because the protocol's intended use case was searching library catalogs from specialized client software. I assume you could have wanted some way to launch that from a web link back in the day; z39.50 actually predates the web by a couple decades, so you would have slapped that on early, static web pages. Now it has a number of attempted successors and is generally unnecessary in the modern environment, so I can see why it's in the historical category. You would probably block it rather than implement it to prevent a malicious URL launching a program with insecure legacy support!

@8crafter, I watch some of your videos! Also, one time a stream game wasn't launching, so I just typed the URL into Chrome and it worked.

You forgot a very common one. about. about:blank being the most common use, I always set my new tab page to about:blank so it won't try loading anything. Firefox uses it extensively for its settings pages, you didn't mention Firefox at all, it only showed up once accidentally in the mailto part. Not everyone uses Chrome, and nobody intentionally uses Edge.

Edge is just Chrome but faster with more out of the box features.

@@TheRealMangoDev it's true. You can use the diagnostics to compare the loading speed. Edge wins most of the time and both browsers are built on Chromium.

I wonder if this supports other kinds of protocols such as FTP (file transfer protocol), SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol), SSH (secure shell), etc. If they are supported, then does that mean that a protocol can be programmed to do things other than open a website or application?

@@Idontwantahandleplease that’s not what this comment means. If you watched the video, it’s about how you could open apps with the web browser instead of the Start menu. Hence, removing the app from the Start menu so I can “hide” the app
