These two lines look the same?

Your forward-socks5 directives all have the same URL pattern ("/")
so at the moment the last one is expected to overrule the previous
ones.

It's not entirely clear to me what behaviour you desire.

On our TODO list we have:
|  19) enable-forward-fallback. Syntax? Suggested by K.R.
<https://www.privoxy.org/gitweb/?p=privoxy.git;a=blob;f=TODO;hb=HEAD#l53>

Is that what you want?

I, too, use multiple forwarding proxies but I let Privoxy
chose the forwarding proxy based on the URL and the client
headers.

To diagnose the Chrome issue it would probable help to
check the Privoxy log after enabling the debug directives
