I would like to configure my Chrome so that when i open a new tab in incognito mode (ctrl shift N) it open a new tab and automatically go to an URL, instead of the empty tab.
Is there a way or an add-on to do that?
Thx
There is an easy way to automatically change to incognito if you try and access certain URLs, which you could then bookmark so when you click them it opens incognite? You can use Ghost incognito for this, just make sure you enable the app for use in incognito mode. You then go to the url and press the ghost icon.

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 want to make an extension that opens an incognito mode when you click on a button.
I want to make this extension for chrome but i also like to do it for firefox, but first the chrome extension
this is the only feature.
I hope to have an explantion for this and know if it is posssible
You can open in incognito by setting it to true in chrome.windows
For example:
chrome.windows.create({incognito: true, url});
I have a web app with a chat that opens in a new popup window. Normally, in Chrome I can hit F12 and click the icon of a smart phone to toggle it. But in the popup window this icon does not appear. This is important for me since I need to throttle the connection of the popup in order to simulate a user disconnecting from the chat.
Thanks!
It doesn't seem to be currently possible. I've opened a ticket for you. Meanwhile you have couple of options:
open popup in a regular window (copy paste the url, or modify window.open call to open a new tab instead of a separate window),
create a Chrome extension that uses debugger API to send emulateNetworkConditions message to your popup window
or try hacking DevTools like so:
open DevTools (A) for your popup
focus on DevTools window and open another DevTools (B) for that window using a keyboard shortcut (F12/alt+cmd+J)
in the console of the DevTools B call WebInspector.overridesSupport.setEmulationEnabled(true) (to enable emulation) and then WebInspector.overridesSupport.settings.networkConditions.set({throughput: 1.5 * 1024, latency: 40}); (to enable network throttling)
Perhaps easier way as of today is to install chrome extension which will allow you to open preview in new tab instead of popup. There you can have the same icon to toggle to mobile. Below is the extension:

I need to run a web-based app inside Chrome but it must appear as if the app is standalone. I dont want any tools or frames to be visible.
Yes I know I can press F11 but this isnt sufficient as I dont want the tools to appear when I move the mouse to the top of the screen.
Do I need to go to the extents of making a Chrome extension and utilizing a possible fullscreen feature?
From the linux man page:
--app=URL
Runs URL in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
e.g. invoke it with google-chrome --app=http://example.com
Start Chrome with the --kiosk flag. Then, no borders etc. will be shown. Furthermore, pressing F11 will not exit this mode, so it's the most effective way of running a Kiosk-like app.
chromium --kiosk http://example.com/
Replace chromium with the path of your actual Chrome executable (e.g. chrome.exe).
In the new Chrome (v88) it might be required to add --user-data-dir parameter to remove the title bar, so the line would go like this:
chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\temp --kiosk http://google.com
If you open Chrome in app mode, like Trever suggests, then borders will still be visible.
If you want a windowed app with no menus on mac, the steps have changed since #PaulR responded.
The new steps are as follows:
navigate to
chrome://flags
Enable the following two options:
"The new bookmark app system"
"Allow hosted apps to be opened in windows"
Restart Chrome to enable the options.
Then navigate to the page you want to turn into an "app".
In the tools menu (three dots) click More Tools > Add to Applications
Finally, navigate to
chrome://apps
and right click on the icon for the newly added Application. Enable the "Open as window" option.
Go ahead and create the shortcut, then open Chrome Apps chrome://apps. The shortcut icon should be in there. Right click on the app icon and check "Open as window." After that, the shortcut will open as a window.

You can create create shortcuts from Chrome itself....
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95710?hl=en-GB
^ this link no longer works.
The feature is called "Create application shortcuts". To enable it in newer versions of Chrome, go to:
chrome://flags/
... using the address bar. Then find "The new bookmark app system" and Disable it. Then click Relaunch Now at the bottom of the screen.
Now, in the "More tools" menu there will be the "Create application shortcuts" menu entry.
There may be another way to do this, but this is just clarifying the method that was supposed to be described in the link.
Like many others have said, --app=<url> should do it for Chrome Version: 83.0.4103.61. The --kiosk option opens a chrome tab, not a borderless "app" window. I'm on macOS Catalina and decided to brew cast install chromium and ran:
chromium --app=https://netflix.com
Unfortunately I could not stream Netflix from Chromium..
When you click a target='_blank' link, it naturally opens a new tab in Google Chrome. For particular sites, I need to use the Chrome Developer Tools to examine the http requests for any new tabs that are opened.
Whenever you have Chrome Dev Tools open on your current page and then click a link that opens a new tab, Chrome Dev Tools are not opened on the new page by default. Opening Chrome Dev Tools at this point is too late because the tools do not capture the http requests for the page.
Also, in many cases, these new tabs go through a series of redirects before reaching the final page, so I cannot simply reload the page after opening Chrome Dev Tools.
The only workaround I can think of is, in the case that the site I'm working on is on a local development server, I can temporarily change the link from target='_blank' to target='_self', but this is unrealistic for a site with thousands of links or for a site that I have no control over the code.
Is it possible to set Chrome Dev Tools to automatically open with every new tab (opened either manually or via target='_blank'?
I'm not sure as of which Chrome version this changed, but if you click on the Settings wheel on dev tools:
You'll see a Global section with a checkmark for "Auto-Open DevTools for popups", which works for opening target="_blank" links with a devtools window:
It's possible to auto open devtools for all the new tabs instead of just target = _blank. When launching google chrome, pass the flag --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs. It enables launching of devtools for all the windows created automatically.
For linux
google-chrome --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs
For Mac
open -a "Google Chrome" --args --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs
You can only open DevTools window via UI action or keyboard shortcut. There is no way to do this automatically.
