What is the "properties" scheme in the URL "properties://browser/clickID"?

Time:11-04

We're capturing error logs from the web console of people visiting our website. I noticed we started getting this error on the 1st of November 2022:

XHR error GET properties://browser/clickID

I searched around but I couldn't find anything related to this scheme. Any ideas what the "properties" scheme is?

Looking at the browsers this error appears in, it's exclusively Android and almost 99% Chrome, so I'm thinking maybe it's some new Chrome feature rolled out recently? It doesn't seem to be affecting anything, but I haven't been able to replicate it so I can't tell for sure.

EDIT: Change appears to have been reverted at around 17:00 2nd of November, so I guess it was just a bug introduced by Facebook pixel.

We were seeing the same thing and discovered that our Facebook Pixel code snippet was part of the issue. Once we removed that code snippet, those ”XHR error GET properties://browser/clickID” logs have dropped off.
