When I launch google apps[which is developed by myself] from command line, for example:
chrome.exe --load-and-launch-app="C:\Users\KyawKhaing\Desktop\chrome\Chrome App\Example2"
After I run this, I see Google Chrome Browser open first follow by my google chrome apps launch. I don't want to open google chrome browser when I launch a chrome app. Any one know the solution. Is it possible?
Use the --silent-launch argument.
chrome.exe --silent-launch --load-and-launch-app="C:\Users\KyawKhaing\Desktop\chrome\Chrome App\Example2"
As I was running automation scripts in java, i did notice that chrome did not open using command prompt.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe \"http:\\www.google.com\"");
From Windows 7, I fixed the problem with the following steps:
Go to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application
Right-click on chrome.exe
Select Properties
Select the Compatibility TAB
Click on the "Change settings for all users" button
Make sure to put a Check Mark on "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and
Select "Windows 7" from the drop down list.
Enjoy!
I don't think you can do it currently. It is a reasonable feature request! You can make feature requests at http://crbug.com/new
There is a bug already logged for this, see http://crbug.com/175381.
We are working on making app background pages keep the browser process alive; once this is done we can fix this bug. The problem currently is due to the way the process is kept alive - if we don't show the browser window the process exits between loading the app and the app opening a window.
I don't think you can do that. The browser is the environment of the app. Its like trying to run a windows app, without running windows. The app depends on the browser. You can't open the app without opening the browser first. Sorry. Hope this helps.

I am setting up my VS Code environment for the first time, but I can't figure out how to set Chrome as the default browser for the workspace.
Go to file-> preferences -> user settings -> search "By Default it will open your default favorite browser" set your browser.
The other StackOverflow questions regarding the browser, had to do with opening a specific file. Here are the steps to creating a tasks.json file in a brand new environment.
From the Tasks menu, Select 'Configure Tasks'
The entry field prompts you for 'Select a task to configure'
Choose 'Create tasks.json file from template'
Edit the file to include the following block:
{
"version": "0.1.0",
"command": "Chrome",
"windows": {
"command": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
},
"args": ["${file}"]
}
Chrome can be launched by way of debugging your application. Within launch.json, the configurations[].serverReadyAction.action configuration was given a possible value of debugWithChrome in the VS Code February 2019 release. Note that this will also require you have the Debugger for Chrome extension installed. You will not receive a warning if the extension is not installed and you've configured launch.json to use debugWithChrome.
Note: Configuring launch.json with debugWithChrome will work even if you launch using CTRL+F5 to run the app without debugging.
Go to Settings -> Extensions -> Live Server Config -> Update Default Browser:
This Alternate Way helped me:)
GoTo-->Google Chrome-->Settings-->Default browser-->Set Google Chrome as default browser
The method of modifying tasks.json no longer works in newer versions of Visual Studio Code. The easiest way to be able to launch your code in a browser is to install the Open in Browser extension from the marketplace.
After it is installed and VS Code is reloaded, you can go to your code and press ALT + B to launch your application in your default browser or ALT + SHIFT + B to select the browser you want to use.
You can also right click and select these option from a drop down menu, but I mention this last because this currently does not work in some versions of VS Code.
Just a helper for the windows users, I just installed windows 10 again and I was wondering how do I set my vscode to open the server (web) using chrome instead of edge, so to do that you just have to configure your windows to use google chrome as default, you don't need to change anything in vscode, I hope this helps someone.
ps: normally you can go open browser you want to be default and setup the configuration. so in chrome you have to go to configurations and scroll down to default browser.
When you want to use your own browser using "Open with Live Server" without change OS globally configuration.
In Windows, Visual Studio Code (ver. 1.70.1 (July 2022)). Go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Settings"
Then select a tab, "User" tab if you want your desired browser for all your projects, or select "Workspace" tab or "ProjectName" tab for especified projects.
Then go to "Extensions" > "Live Server Config" > "Settings: Custom Browser" finally change the 'null' value selecting the browser of your preference from the list (apparently this list depends on installed browsers but i'm not sure).
search for local.testsettings on vscode on the search and for web tests, change the browser to chrome and apply.
The Live Server extension was not appearing for me on settings. However, I installed Open in Browser and typed "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser" in settings and the extension appeared with a dropdown box in which I was able to change the default browser.
Hope this helps!
This may be old but I found something that could help.
First go to Settings/Apps/Default Apps. Set your browser as default.
Next go to VSCODE and go to File/Preferences/Settings/Extensions/LiveServerConfig
Then scroll to settings: CustomBrowser
Change it to your custom browser
Note- If the browsers don't show up on VSCODE then you need to set it to default in the settings.
You can adjust settings in your computer to open.HTML file extensions in chrome as a default browser:
for Example in PC windows:
go to Control Panel > Default programs > Associate a file type or protocol with a specific programs >HTML extension and choose Chrome.
In my case changing the default browser in the system settings of my pc did it.
None of the above works in my case(my version is August 2022 1.71) to make it work I went straight to **
File-->Preferences-->Settings-->Extensions-->Plugin open-in browser
** from there was a option which says Default set browser so I choose Brave as there is no ads in it while playing the video as chrome plays ads so for getting a proper feeling of using my self made Jarvis I used Brave.
Thanks
Click settings -> enter: default browser -> find: Open-in-browser:Default -> enter: Google Chrome
Google Chrome > Settings (left sidebar) > Default browser = Google Chrome
Just change your default web browser in your OS.
In Windows 10, you can search "default browser" then the wizard for changing it, will be appear.
Hey there I've been using the JetBrains IDE support extension for a week now, and While it is great utility. I grow tired of clicking the "X' in the Chrome Yellow Warning ("JetBrains IDE Support" is debugging this tab.)
This may be a noobish question for experienced devs, but does anyone knows how to get rid of this Chrome pop-ups?
Thanks :)
Here is a snapshot:
You can disable this warning in chrome://flags using the Enable Silent Debugging flag:
It's mentioned in the comment #28.
Here is the direct link to the option:
chrome://flags/#silent-debugger-extension-api Just paste this to your Chrome addressbar.
For the ones who didn't understand ( like me :P )
You need to open this address chrome://flags in Google-Chrome and Enable Silent Debugging
While the relevant flag has been removed from chrome://flags, you can still use the command line switch:
chrome --silent-debugger-extension-api
which can be persisted in your flags config (eg. ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf on linux).
See Enable Silent Debugging is not available in Chrome browser
For the newer versions of the Chrome this flag is not available anymore.
So Here is the solution
Open settings in your IDE then head into Tools>Web Browsers
then click on Chrome and hit the pencil icon and
write this in "command line options" finaly hit ok
--silent-debugger-extension-api
now close your chrome if it is open then try to launch it again using debug or run...
error message is "Could not launch external web browser" when running page.
I'd like to launch external web browser in eclipse.
Of course, Preference about web browser was set on.
How to solve this?
this happen because (fighting betweeen google and window this happens 80% in original window) some time window change remove path of google produnds from temperary memory so you need to reselect path in eclipse as follows:
I got my solution by going window in eclipse->preference->general->web browser->restore default->aplly->ok->
then restart eclipse
again window->preference->general->web browser->use external web browser-> new-> select folder of google in c:/programfile/google ->ok->click search->select chrome->apply->ok.
then restart eclipse.
thats it enjoy.
Try setting it by hand under Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Web Browser.
See the details here.
I know it, you must modify your default browser in your OS.
Then click Window-Default system web browser in eclipse.
I think that question is self-explained :-)
When I browse to Application eclipse send me an error.
The simplest way to get Eclipse to recognize Chrome as the default system browser is :
Open Safari.
Go to menu Safari > Preferences > General.
Change 'Default web browser' to Safari.
Close the Preferences dialog.
Re-open the Preferences dialog.
Change 'Default web browser' to Chrome.
Close the Preferences dialog.
This solution is more general as it applies to any application which chooses the incorrect system browser. (thanks to Kelvin Lawrence at IBM)
I am using Eclipse 4.2.0 on an iMac with OSX Mountain Lion. This also works for Eclipse Kepler on Mountain Lion.
I posted the answer on another question like this on stackoverflow, so here it goes:
I found the solution in a blog's post that doesn't exist anymore, it involves configuring the Location to be '/usr/bin/open' and the parameter is '%URL%'.
You need to make sure that google chrome is your default browser and it will work properly. This is the only method that worked for me on OSX Lion.
I solved this by calling /usr/bin/open -a "/Applications/Google Chrome.app" <url>
rubdottocom almost got it. The problem is, that the path contains spaces. If you write a new shell script with the following content:
'/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome' $1
Eclipse can launch a new Chrome instance with it. Sadly, this way it is not possible to open a new tab in an already running instance, as the script exits with the following error message:
[21043:2307:292361872340725:ERROR:process_singleton_mac.cc(102)]
Unable to obtain profile lock.
Ooops! I find the answer here: Is there a way to add Google Chrome as an external web browser in Flash Builder Standalone for Mac?
The exact location is:
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome
It's annoying that you can't enter inside to an "Application folder" (AppName.app) through Finder :-S
Oh Wait! It's not working >_< Safari is opened
you can also try to fix that from eclipse at the menu bar: windows->preferences->general->web browser-> select the radio, Use external web browser and choose your default browser from there. that simple.
Here's a helpful visual showing the /usr/bin/open techinque:
In Finder, right click on Google Chrome.app, select Show Package Contents and browse down to Contents/Mac OS and drag Google Chrome to the Location in Eclipse's Edit External Web Browser dialog box. Enter -url %URL% in the field Parameters. This worked for me on Eclipse Indigo on MacOS 10.7, at least when Chrome was not started before...
My method to set Chrome as a default browser in eclipse is:
Go to Window >> Web browser and then select Chrome.
I have worked with eclipse, firefox, and xdebug for months now on a linux-ubuntu machine. recently i moved to a mac 10.6 and set up all these programs and they all work fine until I try to run xdebug using firefox as the default browser in eclipse.
It will work, but the browser must be close other wise it will prompt a message saying
Close Firefox:
A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.
and when this happens I can not debug, I have to close the browser and start the debugger again. This becomes very annoying after a few tries.
If I use safari I do not have this issue, it just opens a new tab and I can debug with no problems. I can live with this set up, but I prefer to use FF. any idea why this is happening?
make sure firefox is set as your default browser on your mac and then in eclipse go to preferences->general->web browser and select use external browser and in the window below select default system browser.
This should launch stuff as a new tab in firefox.
