Menu
I'd like to open up a new chrome window (not tab) and have it take focus in its address bar immediately.
It works when pressing CTRL+N to open the new window (presumably from the current process) but not when clicking the Icon in the quick launch bar or on the desktop (thus launching a new process).
Then it just opens up, comes to the front, cursor blinking in the adress bar, but it does not have focus there. Typing sends the input to desktop I believe since no open program seems to have the focus then. This is particularly annoying when I was working with a different program and want to have a new browser window.
My Chrome version is 23.0.1271.97 on Windows 7 x64, and as far as I remember it worked fine until version 17.

Then when you use the Chrome browser, press Ctrl + Space to make Chrome always on top, and press Ctrl + Space again to incapacitate the Chrome browser, always on top.
Remove plugins as well as extensions Plugins and extensions cause Chrome to open links in new tabs. To eliminate this problem, all you need to do is disable them.
To set a webpage on top you just need to open the webpage in Google Chrome, then right-click and then select 'Always On Top'. The webpage will be opened in a new customized window that would always stay on top.
I just published a small Chrome Extension which aims at solving this bug! So far it worked great for me (on Window 7 64-bit). You can find it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-new-window-focus/opmhcfhkhiodgapmnaolhmekmfihmecp
Let me know if you encounter any issues!
