javascript - How to run desktop app from browser?

Question

I need to launch program from browser(like battlefield when you see dialog with confirmation of starting app). Should I make an extension or there is native way to do it with javascript?

Answer 1

If the basic idea is to launch a desktop app from the web browser, the first step is to create a new Registry in Windows and path a URL Custom protocol. And if is you need it you can also send parameters by changing console arguments in your app and append the parameters in your html file.
