How to open new windows as separate application instances for Chrome terminal?

Saddysybug

I'm trying to configure my chrome terminal to open new windows as separate application instances. Currently, when I open a new window, it opens as a new tab in the same application instance. This is really annoying because it means that all my tabs are fighting for the same resources and my computer slows down.

Is there a way to configure chrome terminal to open new windows as separate application instances?

To open new windows as separate application instances for chrome terminal, you need to use the --app= option. For example, if you wanted to open a new window for Google Calendar, you would use the following command:

--app=https://calendar.google.com

You can also use the --app= option to open a local file. For example, if you wanted to open a new window for a text file named "MyFile.txt", you would use the following command:

--app=MyFile.txt

If you want to learn more about the --app= option, you can read the official documentation here:

There is no surefire way to do this, as it depends on how your particular terminal is configured. However, you can generally accomplish this by using the "--app" or "--app-window-type" command line flags when opening your terminal. For example:

chrome.exe --app=https://www.google.com

This will open a new window that functions as a separate application instance. You can also try using the "--app-window-type=popup" flag, which may provide more consistent results.

If your terminal is not configured to support the above flags, you may need to investigate other options, such as running multiple instances of your terminal program.
