My electron desktop app loads an angular app into a browser window. That angular app has a button that should open a new website (lets say google.com as an example). When I use the following code...
<button (click)="openNew()">Open a new window</button>
openNew() {
window.open('www.google.com')
}
the app opens a new electron browser window. I want the window to open in a native browser window (chrome, firefox, internet explorer, etc). Can this be possible within an electron app?
Based on documentation, you can open links on OS default browser with code below
const { shell } = require('electron')
shell.openExternal('https://github.com')

I have an open browser window where the user clicks a button and after that, a new browser window opens with a new page.
How can I check that there are two browser windows open and not two pages?
The browser.browserContexts() property does not work, because if a new browser window is opened after clicking on another browser window, then these two browser windows have the same context.
So I have set up an app shortcut for YouTube in Chrome. When I click this, I get a new window that opens to YouTube's website. Works great. However, if I want to for example open videos in a new tab, these will be redirected to my main Chrome window, which is not what I want as I would rather have them as tabs in the YouTube app window.
Is this possible with some flag?
Information:
I'm developing Web App in chrome I can make shortcut in desktop to open my app in App Mode through More tools >> add to desktop.
The problem is when I try to open any Link in new window with hot key Shift. It opens in normal mode full features with address bar and tabs bar.
Question Is:
Is there a way to make the links open in new window with the same App Mode in Chrome ?

I made chrome web store package, but how to open it in self window instead of chrome browser ??
Create a packaged app by
Using a manifest with { 'app': { 'background': '...' } ....
Add a chrome.app.runtime.onLaunched listener that calls chrome.app.window.create
See the hello-world sample.
