Reviews of .url handler:
Does not work anymore with Chrome 80
It just doesn't work. I created the simplest of .url files and when launching the url from the command line: google-chrome mytest.url It just launches a new tab in chrome and asks where to save the file. Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Doesn't work with Chrome Version 65.0.3325.146 (64-bit) on Win8.1 with Classic Shell.
