When I go to a slack link in chrome, the page attempts to launch my slack desktop app.
For example loading a link like this in chrome:
https://box.slack.com/archives/CXXJDXXXX/pXXXX61509300XXXX
Even though I do not have the slack desktop app installed, there is still an attempt to launch the slack desktop app.
How can I by default avoid launching the slack desktop app from chrome ?
PS: I think at some point I clicked on something saying "By default always launch the desktop app". How can I change the default behavior again ?

You need to reset Slack's custom scheme handler. There is a super user post, that describes how to achieve this.
In case this doesn't work, there is another thread on super user that might be helpful.
