Launch Google Chrome from the command line with specific window coordinates

by

When you’re using Google’s Chrome, there is a shorter way:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" 
     --profile-directory="Default"
     --app="data:text/html,<html><body><script>window.moveTo(580,240);window.resizeTo(800,600);window.location='http://www.test.de';</script></body></html>"

Pro:

  • Automatically opens the window
  • Avoids the popup-blocker
  • Opens multiple windows on different monitors (multi monitor setup, requires two or more Chrome profiles)

Con:

  • Only seems to work in “app” Mode
  • Not tested with other browsers
