How to open Open.spotify in app instead of web browser?

Looks like all guides are out of date. Settings are missing in the browser I think? Welp! How to open Open.Spotify in app instead of web browser by default?

The settings you need to change are on the Spotify Desktop App.

Under the "Advance Settings" you can enable the option that says "Allow spotify to be opened from the web".

After that, when you go to a link to open.spotify.com, and you click on the "Play on Spotify" button, it will launch your Spotify Desktop app and will start playing there.

I hope this helps.

My settings are set to allow Spotify to be opened from the web, but when clicking a link on a facebook post via crhome browser it opens the spotify web page in a new tab.
