https://word-edit.officeapps.live.com wants to open this application. SharePoint Online

Apparently I'm the only one noticing this because I can't find ANYTHING on the web. So when I select "Open in Desktop App" from an office online file while using Chrome...I get this window:

 

End users are wondering how to bypass this. What's the deal? Anyone?

    Just today I had an end user report this, except for us we're getting https://usc-word-edit.officeapps.live.com. I'd love to know what causes this!

      “usc-word-edit.officeapps.live.com”? I am receiving this and I am unable to save to my docs and desktop. Have you found an answer?

      All through the night, Outlook online kept initiating contact with my computer.  This is what kept showing up: http://word-edit.officeapps.live.com/we/RemoteUlS.ashx?build=16.0.14209.41004&waccluster=PUS8  What is this?

    I am having the same problem.  Just started today.  Hadnt had any problem in the past.  And when I try to log in with my credentials; it says Im already logged on on this pc.  I can get the files to open into word desktop app.

      since this week I also have the issue that I can't open anymore Office files (Excel, Word) in the Desktop-App

      System keeps asking me to log in but that has no succes other than a "no access" of "can't find the file"

      Who knows what is going on. for me there is the https://euc-word-edit.officeapps.live.com link mentioned as the one that wants to open Word Desktop -app
