The Chrome custom tabs doesn't seem to launch other apps by deeplinking.

For example a PayPal payment, when Chrome is launched with this URL. It will ask the user if the URL has to be opened with the PayPal app or with Chrome.

But this is not the case with Chrome custom tabs.

If I use an custom scheme(myapp://deeplinkurl/) it works correctly.

How can I allow to let apps override the http scheme?

    Ion, are you asking about links inside a webpage or links you open with a custom tab?

    Links inside the loaded webpage, the users gets a page with multiple payment options. If PayPal is selected, it doesn't open de PayPal app. The Chrome browser itself does.

    Custom Chrome Tabs just support custom schemes, http/https won't be launched as a application intent.
