It is your responsibility to take precautions to ensure that whatever Web site you use is free of viruses or other harmful items.

Resolution

1. when the prompt Open Citrix Workspace Launcher is displayed in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge on Chromium each time a user launches a StoreFront resource, configure the following settings:
User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Google \ Google Chrome
Policy setting: Allow access to a list of URLs -> enable Policy
value: receiver://*

User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Microsoft Edge
Policy setting: Define a list of allowed URLs -> enable
Policy value: receiver://*
The required ADMX files can be downloaded here:
Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202?hl=en Microsoft
Edge: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/configure-microsoft-edge

2. But the above setting can work for clients that are joined domain, if the clients are not in domain, chrome/edge will always pop up citrix workspace launcher. In this situation, we need to configure the browser to take http access as secure: For Chrome, type chrome://flags in address bar, then turn to "Insecure origins treated as secure", enabled it and add storefront address to it; same configuration for edge, type "edge://flags". Then when citrix workspace launcher pops up, select always allow http://xx.xx.xx.xx to open links of this type in the associated appp.
