Using window.open(...) Doesn't Work for Non-http and Non-https Protocols

Hello.

When you try to programatically use window.open(...) with a url that doesn't start with http:// or https://, the samsung browser doesn't actually go to the page specified.

Consider this snippet:

    this.$window.open('googlechrome://navigate?url=www.test.com', 'newTabForChromeDeepLink');

When this is executed, it should open up the Google Chrome app. But here is what actually happens:

If you haven't allowed pop-ups yet for the website that ran this code:

Then a notification appears saying that a pop-up was blocked with a button that says 'allow pop-ups'. When you click 'allow pop-ups', then it opens up the google chrome app like expected.

if you already allowed pop-ups for the website that ran this code:

Then a new tab is opened up with the 'googlechrome://navigate?url=www.test.com' appearing in the navigation bar but Google Chrome did not open up.

There is a bug here.
