I guess (and just that), that this can happen if there are overlaps in the scheme handlers.

I.e. there are some schemas which lets say XCode handles but which also some other program handles.

Yeah makes sense if it's the schema handlers. I'd just not be as assertive if I was them that something was installed if there was overlap.

It also doesn't work at all under Chromium for Linux no idea why but the result is complete garbage.

yeah, chrome/chromium on linux not tested at all, mostly because nobody on the team is using linux. We tested it on MacOS Big Sur and a bit of Windows. Full table of what was tested here: https://github.com/fingerprintjs/external-protocol-flooding#... dathinab
