If there is a URL in a source file comment, I can "CTRL + click to follow link." However, when I do this, the link opens inside Visual Studio. How can I make it open in my web browser–in my case, Google Chrome?

There is an extension that provides this behavior called Open in External Browser. It works in Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017. (An old version available on GitHub supports Visual Studio 2010.)
Thanks goes to Dmitry for pointing this out in his answer to this similar question.
EDIT: The Visual Studio team is finally starting to work on putting this right into Visual Studio. Status of this feature request just moved from "Under Review" to "Started".
