Since "chrome:" is not a standard web url protocol. It is specific to the browser/software a person has installed on their device.

Protocol standards are http/https.

"chrome:" is unique only to users who have Google Chrome installed on their devices. The "about:" tag is also unique to what the user has installed on their device. These features allow that user to configure their Google Chrome browser software -- in the same way that the "about:" flags allow a user to configure their Mozilla Firefox software. Directly linking to these features from within UBBCode is beyond the scope of the intentions of UBB.threads. If you want to allow direct-link access to a user's browser settings, give that user access to post using "HTML" -- be warned though, allowing users to create posts with HTML can open up risks to your site.

Beyond allowing users to post with HTML code, have you tried adding these proprietary protocols to your custom tags?
