How can I prevent Chromium from opening svg files?

Chromium keeps opening svg files in the browser despite the default association of Inkscape with svg files.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download an svg file
2. Go to chrome:downloads and click on the svg file.
3. It opens in Chromium in a new tab instead of Inkscape

Check if the lines below are presents on file:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache

image/svg+xml=gimp.desktop;inkscape.desktop;eog.desktop;
image/svg+xml-compressed=inkscape.desktop;eog.desktop;
