Opening Google Chrome on MacBook When I open Google Chrome on my MacBook, it opens in a tiny box rather than the full screen so I have to hit two more keys to get it to open fully. How can I make it open fully from the start? I asked this question in the Google Help forum, and they sent me here. Thanks.

Weird Chrome window focus since some recent updates Hi community, My question is regarding how to change the way shortcut (command + W) works in Chrome for Mac, basically, when you use Chrome for Mac, you can use (command + W) to close a tab. Chrome window focus scheme #1 Some time ago with both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, this command always closes the tab of the window(or desktop if Chrome is used in a full screen mode) where the mouse is in, and you do not need to do anything to get the Chrome focus, meaning you can switch desktops use (command + W) to close a tab right in the new window. This is intuitive and I have been using full-screen Chrome like this for years. Chrome window focus scheme #2 Somehow lately(I do not know how long ago though), the (command + W) begins to close the tab of last active window/desktop, say you are working on a desktop, and you switch to another desktop but do nothing, (command + W) will close the tab of last window/desktop if you do not scroll or click. This is very counterintuitive to me. I feel like this is the update of Chrome for Mac that caused it as my old Mac with macOS Catalina still works in the old way. I cannot find an way to change the setting in the preference of Chrome though. How to update the setting of the Chrome behavior to the Chrome window focus scheme #1?

It would seem both are third party apps...

if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/Updates

Thank you for the answer.

It seems to be a dead end: It seems this app is for ios not macos, but on ios I cannot add plagin (like any plagin) for chrome
