Hello everyone!

Actually, How to open external links in new Chrome window? When choosing default web browser, I tried inserting path to google-chrome app (/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --new-window) and external links open in Firefox.

Is there a way to specify script or correct path to execute chrome in new window when open external link?

Thanks!

Try checking the file associates for html, sometimes a browser takes these over, so you can set that to be Chrome if needed.

Actually, it works fine with Chrome. Problem is external links may open in the last used Chrome window (it could be on another screen), but I want to open the external link every time in a new Chrome window on the same screen.
