Description

See title. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it's definitely unintended behaviour to me.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install any apps. For example install example.com
  2. Enable "Open out-of-scope URLs in a default browser"
  3. Click on an out-of-scope URL. In example.com there is the "More information" link that goes to an out-of-scope URL.
  4. The link is opened in my default browser as expected; but the app window icon is changed to the loading icon (and since the page is never opened in the app browser, the loading icon is always there until I force-reload the page by using ctrl+r or similar). I don't think this should happen.

What should happen

I think at least the out-of-scope links shouldn't trigger the loading icon. I would even prefer that the loading icon is never triggered by any links, out-of-scope or not, though this is purely personal preference.

Affected Websites

I reckon this will happen anywhere. But I've tested and found this bug on

  • discord.com which is where I mainly use the extension ← whenever I click any links, the loading indicator will stay there until I force-reload or close the app
  • example.com which is the reproduction I wrote above
