Custom protocol handling

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:
Custom protocol handling shows a browser compatibility score of 33. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

Navigator.registerProtocolHandler is used when a web page wants to behave as a handler for a particular protocol -- that is, when the user clicks on links or types URLs starting with the protocol's scheme in their address bar.

Specifications

Syntax
