Unfortunately I found no solution how to handle the protocol in Chromium. If anyone has an Idea, please share it ;-)

I finally got this working after lots of hair pulling. I followed all steps above but I still got the unknown protocol error. However, the spotify links site I used was using javascript to link to the spotify:// links. When I tried a site that links normally to spotify:// links, it worked, then the javascript site started working. Hope this helps someone.

Finally! this was the key for me:

Adding network.protocol-handler.expose.spotify false works perfectly!! Finally i can use spotify links!

Thanks Dave, I couldn't get it to work at all, but now I realise you can just do that, I don't need it to work.

Or just paste the url into Spotify's search box.

Instructions worked (after I used the additional boolean mentioned in comments) but Spotify then crashes when I open a link. Oh well. =(
