Open multiple windows on chrome start

Question

I work in a situation where the computer I use is inconsistent, and I often have never logged onto the computer I'm working on before. As such, I use chrome and launch most of the things I need using the "on startup" option. My issue is that I have a page that I would like to open in a separate window. I've done some finagling with a javascript bookmarklet that does something similar to what I want, but it isn't perfect.

javascript:window.open("http://google.com","_blank","foobar"); javascript:window.close();

This will open a new window at google.com as expected, however It has a few flaws:

• The window is not fullscreen. It will always open at a smaller window size, and is horribly inconsistent on where it will show up.
• It isn't a standard window, I can't type in the address bar, add tabs, see my bookmarks bar, or use javascript.
• I honestly don't know what the second and third parameters in window.open do, the window will open in a tab instead of a window if I don't have them, but it doesn't care what is there.

I have attempted passing javascript commands through the window.open command, but the window refuses to do any of them.
I understand that this is the type of thing that shouldn't be decided by a webpage, and should be left to a user. But I am the user...

I believe that most of the parameters you mentioned (fullscreen window, window size, other window features) are specified in the third argument of window.open() . For example:

window.open("http://google.com","_blank","fullscreen=yes;menubar=yes;titlebar=yes")

would open http://google.com in a new window ( _blank ) in fullscreen view ( fullscreen=yes; ) and render the menubar and titlebar ( menubar=yes;titlebar=yes ). A list of standard values is provided at w3schools.com and developer.mozilla.org
