Each time I open Google Calendar in Chromium (snap edition), I get this dialog:

Snap Chromium webcal dialog

No matter whether I press Yes or No, I get the same dialog again later. Note that I flip between two different Google accounts' calendars, which might be contributing to this problem.

How do I get this dialog to stop appearing?

Environment:

  • Ubuntu 20.10
  • Chromium Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)
  • snap 2.48.3+20.10
  • snapd 2.48.3+20.10

Permissions:

Chromium snap permissions

Sample Flow:

  • Start with Chromium closed
  • Open Chromium
  • Open a tab for Calendar A: get the popup
  • Click Yes in the popup
  • Close Chromium
  • Open Chromium
  • Open a tab for Calendar A: do not get the popup
  • Open a tab for Calendar B: get the popup
  • Click Yes in the popup
  • Close Chromium
  • Open Chromium
  • Open a tab for Calendar B: do not get the popup
  • Open a tab for Calendar A: get the popup

Okay, I think I just found it. Go to Settings → Security and Privacy → Site Settings → Additional Permissions → Protocol Handlers (or copy and paste the following in the browser's address bar: chrome://settings/handlers) and make sure Calendar is not allowed. Alternately, if you want you can disable every site from asking.

This is not meant as an answer, but the features available in comments are limited enough to make it more useful to post a "comment-as-an-answer".

Actions that could narrow your problem

  1. Check the status of your configuration as shown here at each point in the sequence you described, and possibly others.
  2. Check if the apt-get version of chromium (package chromium-browser) behaves the same (and if not, perhaps this is an acceptable workaround for you).
  3. Check whether default-url-scheme-handler:webcal is a setting of snap or chromium.
