[chromium-dev] How does chrome calls xdg-open?

[Parvat Yadav]

In linux `xdg-open` is used to open some file using default application.
But sometime google-chrome calls xdg-open to open some download links or
magnetic links. How does this happens? Can someone explain the process? Is
it possible to disable this feature? I need to know the process because
chrome is calling xdg-open for downloading files, and it happened suddenly,
so I need to stop this because I am unable to download anything as when
chrome calls `xdg-open` and after clicking yes option nothing happens.

The call is probably in this file:
