Anyway one valid solution is to add one or more app shortcuts that effectively run chrome/chromium --app=url and collectively treat these chrome specific apps as such. Instead of opening a new tab just click the icon on your bar.
This doesn't quite handle for example links however one could use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-in-chrom... to click on links and send them to chrome for known problematic sites.
This is still way better than in the early firefox/IE days.
