Whatsapp Web tries to download its files through Chrome

[Andre Costa <andre ocosta gmail com>]

Hi,

I am trying to use Whatsapp Web as a web app on Epiphany, and overall it works as expected. However, when I try to download a file "attached" to a message, Epiphany tries to open a "blob:https://web.whatsapp.com/..." URL on Chrome, which -- obviously -- fails. Even stranger is the fact that this only seems to happen on Fedora 29: I also use Ubuntu 18.04, and there Epiphany handles the downloads just fine.

Any clues on what could be the problem?

Regards,

Andre
