Unable to open GitHub URLs if GitHub's own app is installed #76

Description

@ssb22

Using deedum 2022.0406 on Android 14, I can link to commits on https://github.com from a Gemini file and it opens in Chrome when tapped. This is useful if I want to generate a summary of my recent commits across repositories in a Gemini page. But if I then also install GitHub's own app on the same device, the commit link in deedum then fails with Cannot find app to handle https://github.com.

It works again if I change the URL so that it says www.github.com instead of just github.com. So I suspect this is some kind of bad interaction with the way GitHub's own app registers URL handlers and using www. bypasses them so it goes to Chrome as before and then Chrome does the redirect to github.com and the GitHub app.

This bug doesn't bother me because I can make sure all the GitHub URLs in my Gemini file include the www. but I guess I should log it anyway. Thanks.
