Menu
I use Chrome as my default browser in Visual Studio 2010.
Whenever I debug a web app if there are any existing instances of Chrome open then VS automatically creates a new tab on that instance.
Does anyone know if it is possible to force VS open completely new window instead?

To open a new window, use a keyboard shortcut: Windows & Linux: Ctrl + n. Mac: ⌘ + n.
Hold down your ⇧ Shift (Mac) or ⇧ Shift (Windows) button. If you want to open the link in a new background tab, hold ⌘ Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) instead.
Go to Project Properties > Debug > Uncheck "Launch Browser" > Save. Save this answer.
Opening a new tab means a running application a web browser here opens a new partition in itself to perform new tasks. New window means a copy of the application running will start running and it also has ability to create new partition spaces for tabs.
I know this is a bit of a late update, but I found a better way than with a registry hack.
When selecting browse with in visual studio you can set up a new shortcut to Chrome with arguments to open in a new window. (based on lysergic-acid's answer)
