I am software developer, and I use chrome as target browser to debug application in many development IDE: Visual Studio, Flex Builder and some other. Usually I have opened Google Chrome with a lot tabs filled by my staff: email, news, forums, helps and so on. When I run application for debug it opens it in new tab and this is terrible not convenient.

Compact View is a free Windows app that fills this requirement. It lets you watch YouTube, Hulu, and Neflix in mini view. It lets you watch YouTube, Hulu, and Neflix in mini view. Compact View is basically a web wrapper app that supports the mini view.

Is there a way to setup chrome, that some particular application opens it in new window, and not reuse any existing opened browsers? †Tommy G.† 24/3/2009, 16:32 น.

Bapabooiee, this is not it as well. I know how to call chrome from command line, but if it had already opened, new cal from third application is NOT open it in the NEW WINDOW, it adds new tab to existing opened chrome. Read my question carefully, I described what EXACTLY I do need.

I DO know how to call Chrome from command line. I DO know how to open new window when I surf inside Chrome. I do NOT know how to open NEW window from command line, not an additional tab in existing opened Chrome. If you'd like to have good example of issue, make following steps: 1) Open Chrome 2) Open some web site in Chrome, for example 3) Try to open second instance of Chrome using explorer or command line: any call from explorer (NOT CHROME!) or command something like: C: Users AppData local Google Chrome Application chrome.exe ' will open new tab, not new window.

And this is the real issue. If you open C: Users AppData local Google Chrome Application chrome.exe it will open new window, but any compiler opens particular url, and it opens in new tab of existing Chrome Bapabooiee 24/3/2009, 20:48 น. Use this exe instead of Chrome path in 'Browse with' dialog box of Visual Studio. Configure Chrome path properly in the configuration file(NewChromeWindow.exe.config). It will open a new browser window with the page you are debugging and your homepage in the background. I suggest you set your home page in Chrome to 'about:blank' so that it will open faster. Dot net framework 2.0 will be required to run this.

I guess if you are using Visual Studio 2005 plus version, then it will already be installed. Bstell 28/5/2009, 8:50 น. I have an alternative. Sites will open in the most recently opened Chrome window. So write a 2-line batch file. The first line launches Chrome by itself, this will start a new window.

The next line calls Chrome and the site(s) you want open, separated by spaces. So my batch file is the following: 'C: Documents and Settings f00 Local Settings Application Data Google Chrome Application chrome.exe' 'C: Documents and Settings f00 Local Settings Application Data Google Chrome Application chrome.exe' kevinstonge 23/6/2009, 20:20 น. Okay, but how do I open a link in a full-sized new window? I know how to open a new window, but it defaults to a window that is not maximized. While the window is is not tiny, it is not a full-sized window (not full screen - I don't want that; I just want a new window the same size of the maximized window I'm opening the link from). It always seems to default to a smaller window and toggling between maximized and something less than maximized doesn't seem to reset it - it keeps defaulting to a smaller-than-maximized window.

It seems what is missing is an option you could set in the preferences or options that when you choose to open a new window, it will be maximized. Bwv549 9/12/2009, 21:30 น. Segfault's solution is the only one that seems to work on linux. Vmware fusion is for mac. This works (thank heavens), but it is still a hack. Just to summarize the downsides of this approach: 1. User has to make a directory 2. User has to specify it on the command line 3.
