Google Chrome – How to Start Chrome in Application Mode on MacOS

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.

You did eventing right except for one step.

Making new account.

Quit Google Chrome completely.

Go to the Go menu > Go to Folder.

Enter the following directories in the text field, then press Go. ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/

Locate the folder called "Default" in the directory window that opens and rename it as "Backup default."

Try opening Google Chrome again. A new "Default" folder is automatically created as you start using the browser.

Alternatively you can "teach" your browser.

That is done by adding the :80 to the web address.

Example www.myseite.com:80

Also run the netstat -a -p tcp to see if https (443) are open)

Last not least, turn off the experimental "Built-in Asynchronous DNS" is Disabled in chrome://flags/
