I'd like to use Google Tasks, not from the sidebar of Gmail or Google Calendar, etc., but as a standalone browser window.
Even better would be to open it as a Chrome / Firefox webapp (i.e. a standalone non-browser window).
Simple steps"
Open Gmail or Google Calendar - Calendar is less code, so easier
Open the tasks sidebar panel
Right-click on the tasks panel and click "inspect"
In the new sidepanel with the source, scroll up a bit from the highlighted until you see
copy the iframe element (right-click, copy, copy element)
paste into a plaintext editor (TextEdit, Gedit, NotePad, etc.)
take the entire URL in " that starts with https://tasks.google.com and ends with __features__
paste it into the browser (where you are logged into your Google account).
Bookmark it.
You can turn this into a Chrome webapp, but the tasks will not load when starting the Chrome webapp directly. However, you can always open the bookmark, and then from the address bar use open in to open it in the Chrome webapp that you created.

I like to keep Google Tasks open, but it is only offered in the sidebar of heavy website like Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.
Going through the (relatively light) HTML of Google Calendar, gave me this URL, which redirects to a valid standalone Google Tasks: https://tasks.google.com/embed/?origin=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com&hai=3&hc=4%2C1%2C5%2C9&hl=en&forcehl=1&usegapi=1&id=I0_[...]1&_gfid=I0_1659641321701&parent=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com&pfname=&[......]m%3D__features__
However, I cannot turn this into a "separate window" app, because it needs the original URL, not the one it redirects to.
Is there a way to manually set the URL of chrome apps?

I want to create a "Chrome app" to open Gmail in a separate windows Chrome instance on my Mac.
The method for doing this is well documented - https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/3060053?hl=en-GB
In Chrome, you go to the three dots for Settings > More Tools > Create Shortcut and then tick "Open as new window" when you name the shortcut.
However, when I click on the resulting Gmail icon, it opens in Gmail back in the main Chrome browser window, not a separate app window.
I checked mine and noticed the same behavior so I just went and recreated the shortcut for a new instance. Tried it and it works in its own window/app. Deleted the old one.
Try again?
I'd like to put a .bat file on my desktop that opens my Twitch chat in a pop-out window instead of a regular Google Chrome window. The pop-out window I'm referring to has no header or tabs which makes it take up less space, and I'd prefer it to be in a pop-out window.
Using the URL for my Twitch chat, command would I use to achieve this?
I found this link to a list of Google Chrome command line switches, but I can't seem to find anything related to pop-out windows.
try this on cmd;
start chrome /new-window www.stackoverflow.com
it opens a new window with the link www.stackoverflow.com
In the Developer Tools window within the Chrome Browser, there is a "Sources" tab which in the past, I have been able to set breakpoints and step through the Javascript. I am still able to do that for a web app that I wrote. However, when I try to do the same for some another web app, the javascript file does not appear on the Sources tab. Instead, I find it on the Application tab but I do not appear to have the ability to step through the breakpoints on that tab.
How does the Application tab differ from the Sources tab and how might I be able to debug the javascript file?
I want to create an app and that opens only on new window.
This tells that we cannot open tab by a chrome apps. But when I access
this gmail app, and this kind of apps opens in the same tab.
How can I get this resolved.
It seems that you are confusing Chrome Hosted Apps with Chrome Apps.
Hosted apps are more or less bookmarks. Chrome Apps are similar to native apps in that they are much more powerful but have no special access to the browser. You can open normal web content using window.open(). But you can't put your own Chrome App content inside that tab.
