Is it possible to open links in a new tab inside Google Chrome without loading them? And instead, that it would wait for you to manually go to the tab to start loading ? (same philosophy as what Firefox, I suppose. Firefox does this when you open it and it starts where you left off, loading only the first-tab/last-loaded-tab)
Please let me know if there is a way to do that in Google Chrome, either by editing options or by the use of an extension you know off, that would be helpful.

Yes, this should be sort-of possible, but it's ugly and you still have to load something.
Basically, you need a bare-bones page that has JavaScript to detect whether or not the page has focus. You can use the code samples here to determine that: Is there a way to detect if a browser window is not currently active?
Once the page has focus, you can redirect to the actual page. This is messy. Don't do it, unless you have a really good reason. Your users will hate you for it.

I am trying to develop a C++ program which also has a Help button on its menu bar. I'd like to know if it is possible upon clicking this button, if a html document can be opened on the browser, and if so could you explain how to please? I tried researching this but to no avail. I intend to use the html document in conjunction with CSS and JS too. Many thanks!
On Windows, you can do:
ShellExecute (NULL, __T ("open"), url, __T (""), __T ("."), SW_NORMAL);
where url is the page you want to open (e.g, __T ("https://stackoverflow.com/")).
This will open the page in the default browser (initially Edge, but users can change it).

I have been manually sending my resume to employers and wanted to know whether there is a Chrome extension that shows when I have visited a page before. This is to avoid sending my resume twice to the same company. I looked all over for one and couldn't find anything.
What I wanted would be just a basic icon that is grayed out if this is the first time you visit the page according to your browser history and lights up otherwise.
Does it exist? If not, would it be hard to make? I know a little C++ and understand algorithms in general, but have no other knowledge regarding extensions at all.
Thanks a lot!
I am not sure if it exists, but to solve this problem you can just build a simple chrome extension (yes it's easy if you want to know), chrome.history Api will help you do the trick, use chrome.history.search and change icon color following the result.

Okay I'm using Producteev.com frequently on my projects, the other day I noticed that on my workspace page, that the source of the page (Ctrl+U) is quite short and most of the page's items are not in the view source code.
but of course if you inspect the elements of the page you see the actual codes.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask such question but I'd like to know why is this happening and using what technology maybe? and also why they do use such techniques?
Viewing the source shows the source code.
Inspecting the DOM shows you a serialisation of the current state of the DOM after the HTML has been parsed, error corrected, normalised and (possibly) manipulated with JavaScript.
DOM elements that have been added dynamically after the page is generated will not be included in the page source.

I have searched through a new site I am setting up multiple times and I can not find any insecure content. Maybe a second pair of eyes can help.
Can you guys let me know what I am missing to prevent chrome from putting an X over my SSL icon.
Firefox and IE don't show any SSL errors.
Site is dorknerd.com
Thanks.
Actually i got this from your site:
Looks like some of your javascript breaks the secure connection...
If you dont allready, you should consider using chromes developer tools. (press F12 or ctrl+shift+j to use them) They will most of the time be able to help you out.
I do not see any errors in Chrome either. If you're trying to make sure a site is not pulling unsecure content behind an SSL, then do a ctrl+f (find) for http... hrefs do not matter, only content you are embedding through includes, css, javascript etc... Look through the html output of the page through a view source, search it and see if you see unsecure content.... but as I said i don't see an in Chrome (nor FF, or IE)
Edit:
I did some searching and I believe this is your problem: Serving ads via HTTPS

Edit on 20190109. Just to clarify some thinks.
1. This is quite an old question, closed and yes off-topic (and also kind of a xy-problem question), still if you feel like it go on and down-vote it, I couldn't care less.
2. When I posted the question I wasn't aware of Electron and the solution it provides to my original requirement (and not the work around I am asking on this question).
I was wondering if i could change some things in my chrome with an extension, so when i press..
1) the windows button + D
2) or the minimize button
3) or the "Show Desktop" button in windows 7
..a part of chrome would still be visible, to be more specific i want to turn to a state of "always on top" the 1) tab bar
2) the address bar
3) and the bookmark bar
so is it possible to "split" an application like chrome in two "pieces" and somehow change its visibility in one of those "pieces"? any ideas are welcomed!
The easiest way to achieve this, in my thought, is combine a third-party program with a chrome extension.
For example, if you are under windows, you can use a program like Window On Top by Skybn. This program uses the Ctrl+F8 hotkey to toggle always on top window state, then you make an extension wich manipulate the browser window position and dimensions using the same hotkey.
To get the chrome window on top of screen with only tabs, adress and boookmarks, you can use something like this:
chrome.windows.getCurrent(function(window){
chrome.windows.update(window.id,{top:0,left:0,width:screen.width,height:100})
});
