"Breaks the new Google Earth" #19

Closed Rob--W closed 6 years ago

From the Chrome Web Store feedback page (21 april 2017):

There's a new version of Google Earth for Chrome. Unfortunately, DTMG causes it not to work properly. Please try this with the extension enabled:

  1. Go to https://earth.google.com/web/
  2. If a welcome message appears, dismiss it by clicking "SKIP" or the "X" near the top-right corner.
  3. Click the ship's wheel icon on the left. It's labeled "Voyager".
  4. Click "Travel", scroll down a little, and then click "Explore Paris".
  5. There are several entries on this page ("72 Hours in Paris: Day 1", etc.). Clicking on them should open the content right in the browser. However, when DTMG is enabled, it causes Chrome to immediately download a KMZ file instead.

Simply put, the new Google Earth is broken until you disable DTMG.

I followed the above steps, the HTML is as follows:

<a href="#gcs_itin_9;balloonFlyto" title="A second day in Paris, from the Louvre and Centre Pompidou to the Right Bank's Marais neighborhood" target="_blank">
                <span>72 Hours in Paris: Day 2</span>
              </a>
