What problem are you trying to solve?

Dogecoin (DOGE) is one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies. However, Chrome does not recognize "dogecoin:" as a safe protocol, while "bitcoin:" is already supported. This prevents web apps and PWAs from handling Dogecoin transactions properly.

To support broader crypto adoption and usability, "dogecoin:" should be added to Chrome's safelist of external protocols, allowing it to open wallet apps just like "bitcoin:".

References:

PWA manifest.json example:

{ "name": "Biometric Doge Wallet", "short_name": "DogeLock", "description": "Secure Biometric Dogecoin Wallet", "start_url": "./index.html", "scope": "./", "display": "standalone", "background_color": "#202F36", "theme_color": "#202F36", "icons": [ { "src": "./icons/icon-192x192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png" }, { "src": "./icons/icon-512x512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" } ], "protocol_handlers": [ { "protocol": "dogecoin", "url": "/index.html?url=%s" } ] }
