Launch url as window in Chrome

Raw

Launch_url_as_window_in_Chrome.md

Issue:

Launching a web site as a boarderless window in Google Chrome broswer can be done using 'More Tools -> Create Shortcut'. This works and gives an icon even but i have seen them break or go away. Sometimes they will launch in a boarderless window and sometimes not.

Solution:

Use the --app option when launching google-chrome command.

google-chrome --app=https://mail.google.gom

Of course, creating a launcher in a desktop would be preferred. Icons for desktops will need to be downloaded separately.
