I am getting an Android app switch icon in the address bar of every page. Running Android M and Chrome Dev on the device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.dev

Str: 
* Open a web page
* Tap on the android icon in the address bar
* URL is opened in Chrome

Mike, can you look into this?

We update the page actions in updatePageAction [1]:

7734     HelperApps.getAppsForUri(uri, { filterHttp: true }, (apps) => {
7735       this.clearPageAction();
7736       if (apps.length > 0)
7737         this._setUriForPageAction(uri, apps, contentDocument);
7738     });

getAppsForUri eventually calls out to Java, to the IntentHelper.getHandlers method. Investigating...

Kevin clarified on IRC that this only affects Chrome Dev.

Kevin, I think I may have repro'd once on my Android 4.4.4 N7, but I can't seem to anymore (maybe I imagined it). Can you still repro? Perhaps Chrome Dev got updated.

Nor can I atm. Lets close for now and reopen if it is seen again.
