I use two instances of Chrome at the same time – one for my work tasks and one for my personal stuff. Both are signed in as different people ('WorkMe' and 'HomeMe')
If I get a URL sent to me via Skype (or some other non-browser system) and I click it, how can I ensure it opens up in a particular browser window?
On a PC it was quite simple – the last Chrome window that was active is the one that links open in. So I'd just click one Chrome window to make it active and then open the URL. But this doesn't seem to be the case on OSX El Capitan. Links always open in the same browser window regardless of what I've been doing on either one.
How can I ensure that when I click a link in Skype / Word or wherever that it'll open in the specific browser window that I need?
For context: It makes a difference because I have multiple profiles, so I will be signed in to different systems on different browsers. For instance if someone Skypes me a link to Twitter about a work-related issue I want to ensure it opens in the browser where I am signed into my work twitter account, not my personal one.
