Wow. That about:inducebrowsercrashforrealz is hilarious! I can’t believe Google would put that in their browser! I’m going to see if I can convince my little brother to do that… for teh lulz of course!

I know this is an old article, and maybe the wrong place to ask questions, but which of these commands controls how magnet links and what apps it opens? I told magnet links to do nothing on accident, and now need to change it. Using Ubuntu 10.10.

Hi henno,

I’m assuming you’re using windows. I would assume that you can create any desktop shortcut / favourite you want, and then just edit the “URL” to be “chrome://newtab” instead of “http://google.com/” or whatever.

I couldn’t promise that it would work, but try the manual change and then see if when you double-click your OS asks you what to do with a URL with the protocol “chrome://”

How could I register chrome:// as protocol so that I could make a shortcut on desktop to automatically launch chrome://newtab.

I want this because simply launching Chrome creates a separate window. I want that relaunching Chrome would create and give focus to new tab (I have a habit to automatically click an icon on Quick Launch to visit a web page)

So far I have http://www.google.com as the shortcut but I’d really like it to be the newtab page.
