Chrome Dev Tools on Linux: Can't Open Stacktrace Links

Question

I'm on Linux (Mint) and using the Chrome Developer Tools. Whenever I click on a file link in a stack trace (from an error, warning, etc.) ... for instance if I click on layout.js in ...

at FrontPage (webpack-internal:///./src/components/layout.js:46:11)

... Chrome then tries to open the link to:

webpack-internal:///./src/components/layout.js

Previously that would just show me the file in the Dev Tools' "Sources" tab ... but now it instead opens a prompt from xdg-open, saying "A website wants to open this application."

If I open it, I'm stuck on an empty tab for webpack-internal:///./src/components/layout.js. If I cancel, nothing happens.

Does anyone know how I can get it to go back to opening such links within the Dev Tools Sources tab?

As a Chrome developer explained here

The problem here is that part of the Error.stack content contains a stack trace from the Node.js server, while you are debugging the React client (in the browser).

Our recommendation is to open a bug against next.js - they should not provide broken links to DevTools.
