Description
This would make all shortcuts that open a new tab actually open a new chrome window, with an option for it to open in application mode (with the --app=urlgoeshere option passed to the chrome executable on linux, not sure what this would entail on windows).
I want this feature because I use i3 and chrome tabs kind of defeat the purpouse of a tiling wm, so I prefer simply ignoring tabs as a feature and managing windows as tabs myself
