I have weird problem, not latest Chrome, nor Chromium doesn't open links from third-party applications, like skype (I've tested on latest stable and latest beta versions).
It's easy reproducable, if I set firefox as default browser and click link in skype message it's open in firefox as new tab.
Same doesn't work if default browser is Chrome.
OS: Windows 7 64, I've already perform check for viruses and etc.
make default
in chrome.
