Hello, I just noticed that the web intents are no longer opening a pop-up in Google Chrome. I am trying with different Chrome setups (on different machines) and I always get the same results: links that used to open in a popup now open in a new tab.
I dug a little more and found that this problem also affects Brave which, as far as I know, uses the same engine as Chrome (Blink).
The intents do not even work in the web intents documentation site!

Note that in Firefox and Safari the pop up opens just fine.
I remember the pop up opening a couple months ago, I noticed the problem now because of a bug report in the product I am maintaining.
Is this a known bug or is it something new that Twitter’s team is already handling? Should I expect a fix or should I start finding a workaround?
Opening my own pop up could be an option.
I found other people asking questions regarding this behavior: https://superuser.com/questions/1223168/how-can-chrome-59-0-3071-115-be-configured-to-not-open-a-popup-as-a-new-tab
