Description
[Chromium has introduced the new protocol prefix handlers](https://blog.chromium.org/2020/09/chrome-86-improved-focus-highlighting.html)
This is an API that allows a webextension to handle protocols with dweb prefixes like ipfs, ethereum, ssb, and more!

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Read the linked Chromium protocol-handler announcement and programmable custom protocol handlers guide first, then locate the existing IPFS and ENS navigation handling; done means the original URL is preserved when visiting those pages.
