I have a website that I like to visit, but I'd like to open it in its own browser window, without any of the toolbars at top, etc. After some digging, I found that Chrome actually has some interesting stuff available for command-line control. So I created a shortcut and used this:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --profile-directory=\"Default\" --new-window --window-size=300,300 --app=<\/strong><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And then the url for the website after --app= Works like a charm, but a long-standing bug in Chrome (reported 7 years ago and, well, not fixed yet \ud83d\ude09 makes the --window-size not work. However with the --profile-directory=\"Default\" it saves the last used size for the window in the user profile and opens in the last used size.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In my case, I wanted to open CBC One in Victoria, so my full command line is:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --profile-directory=\"Default\" --new-window --window-size=300,300 --app=<\/strong><\/span>http:\/\/prod-chrome80-player-popup.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/popup_player_v1.html?station=cbcvictoria&tenant=www.radio.net<\/span><\/span><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This opens the radio station up in a popup window (NOT existing Chrome window) and the size is saved.\u00a0 So I now have a nice little window for my radio station!<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For those who want to dig deeper (I've not even scratched the surface) here is the official list of command-line arguments for the Chromium project:<\/span><\/div>\n

It's only 52 pages!!!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Since Windows Edge is based on Chromium, this should work for both Chrome and Edge.<\/div>\n

Enjoy!<\/span><\/div>\n
