How can I get links (boh from web pages within Chrome AND from external apps) to open in a new window rather than in a new tab in the active window?
This has been answered for Windows, but I cannot find a solution for Mac.

You can try using the AppleScript found on this page.
I just tried it out and it perfectly works fine in Chrome 12.0.742.122.
It's extremely easy to set up:
- download the Bundle archive
- double click it to unpack it
- double click on
OpenUrlInNewChromeWindow - open Safari and set the new "Browser" as the default browser in the Preferences.
have you tried to deleting the chrome folder in your user's application support? I had a similar problem on my sister's computer the other day and this fixed it
