if you add "close active tab of window 0 -- close active tab" after line 7, the script will close the currently active Chrome tab to avoid duplicated tabs across browsers.
I have saved this script in ~/Library/Services/ but when I right click in Chrome on an empty space in a window it does not appear in the service menu. However, it is always (?) visible under -> Services -> General. How can I make it visible in Chrome's context menu? It is much more readily available there.
Furthermore, I would like a script that allowed me to right click on a link in Chrome and offer me to open the link in Safari. That is, it should not be necessary to first load the page in Chrome before I can open it in Safari. Is that possible?
